Nollywood actor,Jerry Williams has been suspended by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) due to his use of illegal drugs, according to the AGN leadership.
According to a press release from the National President of AGN, Mr. Emeka Rollas, MON, they have been keeping an eye on Jerry’s use of illegal substances since December and have been unable to allow him to hang out with other actors on set because he puts their safety in danger.
It is an issue of other performers’ safety, in his opinion..
The statements reads in part; “the Guild 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 at it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself but also, 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 drugs abuse.’”
Jerry hit the limelight after starring in the epic move, “The Chosen King”. He’s known for playing the role of a ‘prince, king, warrior, and palace guard, hunter, romantic guy, terrorist, and many other roles in his past movies.
