The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended Nollywood actress Shirley Igwe indefinitely over an alleged assault on a crew member during a film production.
According to reports, Igwe allegedly slapped a member of the Creative Designers Guild of Nigeria (CDGN) on set, an incident that prompted swift disciplinary action from the AGN leadership.
In an official statement issued to all state chapter chairmen and the national executive, the AGN described the suspension as necessary in light of “violence, and indiscipline actions capable of discrediting the acting profession.”
The guild further directed that its members must immediately cease participation in any film production involving Igwe, pending the outcome of ongoing investigations.
“Members are hereby directed to refrain from participating in any film production involving her,” the statement read.
