Egbuson-Akande on the other hand threatened tonsue the blog for defamation.
Today, AGN in a statement released revealed that the actresses are on its watchlist and are being investigated by its secret panel.
The statement goes, “On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, I commend the professional and incisive work done by members of the secret investigative panel.”
“However, some female members on the watch-list are being investigated by the secret panel, especially in the recent release of names purported to have had dealings with the Senate President.”
The association also announced it has suspended Halima Abubakar for “spreading false information about fellow members, associates, and patrons, including allegations of extramarital affairs with highly placed individuals.”
The guild noted that a two-year-long investigation uncovered Halima’s “involvement in slandering the film industry”, adding that the actress will face national disciplinary committee to determine her full punishment.
