Halima Abubakar sues AGN president following her suspension, demands N3bn in damages

• 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.

In a dramatic turn, actress Halima Abubakar has launched a legal challenge against Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), following her suspension for alleged false news.

The situation escalated last Friday when Emeka declared her suspension, citing a two-year investigation that supposedly found her guilty of spreading damaging rumors about her colleagues and prominent personalities in the entertainment industry.
