The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested famous Nollywood actor, Moses Armstrong for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl.

Emeka Rollas, the national president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, confirming Armstrong’s arrest, stated that the case is “a very serious one”.

He disclosed that the case is being handled by Akwa Ibom’s First Lady, Martha Udom Emmanuel through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.

Rollas said: “To get involved with a child as young as 16 years, is not something I and the association I represent stand for.

“This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I would not want to comment any further on this case.”

The AGN president added that the organization frowns at such a crime.

Armstrong until his arrest was a Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.

He lost his wife and colleague, Rita Armstrong in 2018.

Rita according to reports died from spinal cord injuries she 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.

The Akwa Ibom Transport Company (AKTC) bus conveying her got involved in a ghastly crash at the Ugbogui axis of the Benin-Ore-Lagos Expressway.
