Veteran Nollywood comic Actor and singer, Moses Armstrong has been arrested for allegedly defiling a minor, by men of the Akwa Ibom State Police command.
Confirming the sad incident, the National president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, who confirmed the arrest, described the case as “a very serious one” as it is being handled by the first lady of the state Martha Udom Emmanuel through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.
The AGN president added that the accusation was a sad development involving one of their own but the organsation will not stand for such a crime.
“To get involved with a child as young as 16yrs, is not something I and the association I represent, would not stand for and this is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I wouldn’t want to comment any further on this case,” Mr Rollas said.
“As we chat, he is still in police custody,” the source disclosed.
Moses Armstrong is a special assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
Moses lost his actress wife, Rita Armstrong in 2018.
Rita died from spinal cord injuries sustained from an accident.
