Akwa Ibom-based Nollywood actor Moses Armstrong has been arrested for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl.
The state police command arrested the actor on Friday
Emeka Rollas, the national president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, confirmed the arrest, adding it’s a serious case.
According to Rollas, the case is being handled by Akwa Ibom’s First Lady Martha Udom Emmanuel through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.
“To get involved with a child as young as 16 years is not something I and the association I represent stand for, Rollas said.
“This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I would not want to comment any further on this case.”
