- Halima Abubakar has initiated legal action against Emeka Rollas, president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, following her suspension for alleged false news dissemination.
- The suspension was announced after a two-year investigation, which claimed Halima was guilty of spreading damaging rumors about colleagues and notable figures in the entertainment industry.
Halima’s legal team demands a retraction of the statements, a public apology from Emeka, and N3 billion (approximately $7.5 million) in damages.
