The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has condemned the release of private video of its member Empress Njamah by her ex-lover on social media while demanding his apprehension.
The movie star had alleged that George Wade, her ex-lover, was trying to blackmail her with her nude videos in his possession.
Recently, the nudes surfaced online, spurring strong reactions. Fans of the actress had accused Wade of leaking the nudes of the actress.
In a statement signed by the AGN Director of Communications Kate Henshaw, captioned “AGN Stands With Empress Njamah, ” the National President of the Guild, Ejezie Emeka Rollas said the act was criminal and blackmail calculated to smear the actress’ image and publicly ridicule her by a man who claimed to be her lover.
He noted that exposing nude videos and photographs of a person against her right to privacy is a serious offense.
He, therefore, called on law enforcement agencies to apprehend the culprit and ensure he faces the wrath of the law.

“We call on the law enforcement agents to apprehend the culprit and ensure he faces the full wrath of the law for violating the right and dignity of Empress Njamah.”
