August 06, (THEWILL) – The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has lifted the indefinite suspension of Nollywood actor, Jerry Williams, over drug abuse.
Williams was suspended in June by AGN, following his involvement in illicit substances.
The National President of AGN, Emeka Rollas, had stated that Williams was suspended from acting to prevent him from endangering the lives of other actors on set.
Williams checked into a rehab facility for drug addiction a few weeks ago where he has been undergoing therapy.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, he expressed gratitude to the President of AGN, his friends, loved ones, senior brother and fans for standing by him while he weathered the storms of depression.
In the video, he announced that his suspension has been lifted and he is ready to go back to work.
“My suspension has been lifted, I am going back to work, sound, healthy, strong,” Williams stated.
Confirming the news, Rollas revealed that Williams complied with the guild’s directive, which was why they lifted his suspension.
