The Police in Umuahia has dismissed claims that it arrested the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Mr. Emeka Rollas.
Speaking on the matter, the Public Relations Officer, SP Iheanetu Bruno Chukwudera, labeled the report as misleading.
“The attention of zone 9 headquarters, Umuahia, has been drawn to false and misleading reports circulating online, alleging that the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria was arrested by officers of the Zonal Command.
“While these reports are baseless and untrue, it is important to clarify the facts: On January 9, 2025, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria held a meeting at a certain location in Umuahia.
“During the meeting, a chaotic argument broke out, necessitating police intervention to restore calm and prevent a breakdown of law and order.
“Due to the proximity of the meeting venue to the Zone 9 Headquarters, the parties involved were brought to the command to de-escalate the situation,” the statement read.
Bruno stated that the aggrieved members, along with the President, were addressed by the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Suleiman Yusuf. Following the discussion, all parties departed peacefully to their homes, with no arrests or acts of intimidation taking place.
