Popular Nigerian actor Jerry Williams has reportedly been arrested by a certain businessman named Nwafor Franklin, aka Izutech.
Jerry was reportedly arrested on Monday morning at his residence in Delta State by officers from the Edo State Police Command.
Nollywood actor Stanley Ontop disclosed this in an Instagram video while calling on the general public to hold Izutech responsible should anything happen to Jerry.
Expressing concern over Jerry’s safety, Stanley accused Izutech of withholding the sum of N2.5 million collected from producers who want to cast Jerry in their movie.
Captioning the clip, he wrote:
“Izu went to Jerry Williams’ house in the early hours of today, 21st July 2025, and bundled him to Benin with the help of some Nigerian police.
“Let it be known that Jerry Williams is in Izu’s custody. If anything happens to Jerry, Izu should be held responsible.”

AGN Suspends Shirley Igwe Indefinitely For Assaulting Crew Member
This is coming just a few days after Jerry Williams returned to Nollywood after months in rehab over substance abuse.
The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has suspended Nollywood actress Shirley Igwe after she allegedly assaulted a crew member on a film set.
Reports indicate that Igwe allegedly slapped a member of the Creative Designers Guild of Nigeria (CDGN) during a production, prompting swift disciplinary action from the AGN.
In a statement issued to its state chapter chairmen and the national chairman, the Guild announced that Shirley Igwe had been placed on indefinite suspension pending further investigation.
The AGN stated that the suspension was due to “violence, and indiscipline actions capable of discrediting the acting profession.”
The statement further directed: “Members are hereby directed to refrain from participating in any film production involving her.”
