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.”

Popular Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has stated that he doesn’t chase everything in a skirt, contrary to widespread assumptions.
He explained that his age, work, and demanding schedule do not permit indulgence.
The 38-year-old revealed that he has been single for the past two to three years.
He disclosed it in a recent episode of The Culture League podcast, which also featured Super Eagles star Victor Boniface and comedian Bovi.
Timini Egbuson said,
“A lot of people assume that I’m a womaniser. But I’m not. In the past two, three years, Nollywood has taken over my life in a way that there’s no room, except you will be the most unserious [to womanise].
“I even wonder how some of my friends who womanise, date four or five girls simultaneously, have time to attend to all of them. Because from being on set all day to getting back tired at 11 pm, I will now start chatting a lady? I don’t have the capacity for that. So, I’m not in the street as people may think I am.”
