Nollywood Actor Moses Armstrong Arrested For Allegedly Defiling Minor
Nollywood actor, Moses Armstrong has been arrested by men of the Akwa Ibom State Police command for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl.
The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, who confirmed the arrest to Qed.ng, 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 Empoerwemnt 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 wife actress Rita Armstrong in 2018.
Rita died from spinal cord injuries sustained from an accident.
The mother of two was returning to her husband’s residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state from Lagos on Saturday, February 3, 2018, when the Akwa Ibom Transport Company (AKTC) bus conveying her got involved in a ghastly crash at the Ugbogui axis of Benin Ore Lagos Expressway.
