The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has officially lifted the suspension of Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar, ending a disciplinary action that lasted over a year.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Abubakar was initially suspended indefinitely in October 2024 over allegations of defaming fellow actors and prominent Nigerians. A two-year investigation by a disciplinary panel had found her culpable, barring her from participating in any guild-related activities and film productions.

On Thursday, outgoing AGN National President Emeka Rollas announced the lifting of the suspension during the inauguration of the guild’s new National Executive Council (NEC) at the AGN national secretariat in Abuja.

Rollas said, “Halima Abubakar took AGN to court claiming a frivolous amount of money, but after our investigation, she was suspended. However, since acting is her livelihood, it would be unfair to leave her suspended. By the powers vested in me, I hereby lift her suspension.”

Rollas, whose tenure ended in December 2025, formally handed over to the new national president, Abubakar Yakubu. He also lifted suspensions for four members of the Enugu State chapter: Christopher Igboji, Chidi Concord, Dan Ewerem, and Jeff Okwute, stating, “As I leave office, I don’t want to leave members suspended.”

He added, “This occasion reflects the strength of our institution, the maturity of our processes, and the unity of our creative family,” and called on AGN members nationwide to support the new leadership to ensure the guild remains strong, united, and globally respected.

He made this known during an interview on The Breakfast Club, where he spoke about his upbringing, family life, and the future he envisions for his children.
