<h2>The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar following&nbsp;a two-year investigation that uncovered her involvement in spreading defamatory information and statements about her colleagues in the industry.</h2>

The popular actress has allegedly been behind the spread of false and misleading information about her colleagues and other prominent individuals.

In an official statement released on the Guild's Instagram page on Friday, October 18, 2024, the AGN made the decision after a two-year secret investigation resulted in the revelation that Halima Abubakar has been the brain behind leaking messy extramarital and infidelity stories about actors in the industry.

“Following the thorough investigative report by the special Secret Investigation Panel set up to conduct an internal underground secret investigation… the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information," the statement read.

The actress has now been indefinitely suspended. Following this suspension, she is banned from participating in any AGN activities or filming during this period. The Guild has also announced that she will be made to face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine her full punishment.
