Statement

The statement read: “As it is now, he cannot associate with other performers on set due to danger. He ought to have been suspended before. But we decided to let him undergo treatments, which he has been defaulting over time.Nollywood actor Jerry Williams

“But as it stands now, Jerry is a risk to himself and the doctors who might be acting alongside him on set. We, therefore, have decided to suspend him indefinitely until he gets a clean bill of health from a medical practitioner or a professional that handles drug abuse.”

Jerry, a Mechanical Engineering graduate, kicked off his acting career in 2009 but left to complete his education and returned in 2023.
