Popular Actor Jerry Williams Banned From Acting Due To His D.ru.g A.ddiction

Jerry Williams, a star of Nollywood, has been placed on indefinite administrative leave by the leaders of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), due to drug addiction.

Jerry Williams has been suspended from all film sets due to his extensive use of illegal narcotics, according to a statement issued and signed by the National President of AGN, Mr. Emeka Rollas. The association has been keeping an eye on Jerry Williams’ movements since December.

The statement went on to say that Jerry Williams was under surveillance by AGN management in order to prevent any set circumstances that would endanger the safety of other actors.

The statement reads, “The Guild has been monitoring his involvement in illicit substances since December last year, until it got out of hand and as it is now, he cannot be allowed to associate with other performers on set due to danger.

“He ought to have been suspended before now, but we decided to allow him go through minor treatments, which he has been defaulting overtime. At it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself, but also other actors who might be acting alongside him on set.

“We, therefore, have decided to suspend him indefinitely until he gets a clean bill of health from a medical practitioner or a professional that handles drugs abuse.’”
