Nollywood actor cum singer, Moses Armstrong, has been arrested by the Akwa-Ibom State Police command, for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl.
The national president of Actor’s Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, who confirmed the arrest during a chat with Qued.ng, described the case as “a very serious one.”
He added that the case is currently being handled by the First lady of the State, Martha Udom Emmanuel, through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-orientation Path Initiative.
He noted that the accusations was a sad development, as it involves one of their own.
However, he said the organisation will not condone such a crime.
“To get involved with a child as young as 16 years is not something I and the association I represent would stand for.”
“This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I wouldn’t want to comment any further on the case.”
Until his arrest, Armstrong who was a Special Assistant to Akwa-Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel Udom, had lost his wife and colleague, Rita Armstrong, in a fatal accident, in 2018.
She died of a spinal cord injury she sustained from the accidengdly
