Moses Armstrong, a Nollywood actor and singer, has been arrested by authorities in Akwa Ibom State for allegedly rapping a 16-year-old girl.
In a discussion with Qed.ng on Thursday, June 16, the national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, confirmed his detention and described the case as "a very severe one."
According to him, the state's First Lady, Martha Udom Emmanuel, is handling the case through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.
The AGN president added that the accusation 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 16years, 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 this case," he said.
Armstrong until his arrest was a Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
