The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has quashed the indefinite suspension handed down to the Imo State chapter chairperson, Ms Nneoma Ukpabi.
Recall that Ms Ukpabi was handed an indefinite suspension by the AGN national body, after a video by one Miss Favour, a new AGN member, went viral accusing Ms Ukpabi of fraudulently obtaining N400, 000 from her as well as assaulting her.
However, the AGN, in a statement signed by its National Director of Communications, Monalisa Chinda-Coker on Wednesday, said Ms Ukpabi was found innocent following the recommendations of a 3-man investigative panel constituted by AGN NEC to consider the allegations.
According to Mrs. Chinda-Coker, “Lady Nneoma Ukpabi is hereby free to resume her office as Chairman and also to resume filming and other Guild activities with immediate effect.”
A letter addressed to Ms Ukpabi by AGN’s National Secretary Abubakar S. Yakubu, confirming the lifting of the suspension, thanked the reinstated Chairman “for cooperating with the Investigative Panel, the Police and all those concerned in the matter”.
