Akwa Ibom State Police have arrested actor Moses Armstrong for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl.
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. Mr Rollas said:
“TO GET INVOLVED WITH A CHILD AS YOUNG AS 16YRS, IS NOT SOMETHING I AND THE ASSOCIATION I REPRESENT, WOULD 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.”
Sources claim the girl is the thespian’s family relative, who was put under his care.
Moses Armstrong is a special assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel.
