The Actor’s Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has announced the indefinite suspension of Nollywood star, Jerry Williams over drug abuse.

The president of Actors’ Guild, Emeka Rollas announced his suspension through a statement on Thursday.

The association states that Jerry Williams is now a risk not only to himself but also to other actors, who might be acting with him on set.

The statement read: “has been monitoring his involvement in illicit substances since December last year until it got out of hand, and as it is now, he cannot be allowed to associate with other performers on set due to danger.

“He ought to have been suspended before now. But we decided to allow him go through minor treatments, which he has been defaulting overtimes. But as it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself but also, to other actors who might be acting alongside him on set.

“We, therefore have decided to suspend him indefinitely until he gets a clean bill of health from a medical practitioner or a professional that handles drug abuse”.
