Defamation: Halima Abubakar, Emeka Rollas ‘wrestle’ in Court

Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has officially launched a legal battle against Emeka Rollas, President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), after being suspended for allegedly spreading false rumors.

The suspension, which Rollas claims followed a two-year investigation, accuses Halima Abubakar of circulating damaging stories about colleagues and top figures in the entertainment industry.

However, the actress isn’t backing down, firing back with a lawsuit and a scathing response. In a legal letter from her team, she condemned the AGN’s handling of the situation, accusing Rollas of using her as a scapegoat during a critical moment in her career.

The letter reads: “Instead of respecting our client’s rights to privacy and a fair hearing, you chose this sensitive period to promote your false story.”

Abubakar’s legal team argues that Rollas’ announcement has caused irreparable harm to her reputation, tarnishing her public image with each passing moment. As the drama unfolds, the lawsuit raises serious questions about the fairness of the AGN’s internal processes and the lasting impact on Abubakar’s career.

With the Nollywood world watching, this legal showdown is set to shake up the industry and test the power dynamics within the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
