The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has requested that the Police detain Empress Njamah's former boyfriend, George Wade, who is suspected of recently leaking a naked video of the actress.
The National President of AGN, Emeka Rollas, issued a statement in which the guild referred to the incident as a complete breach of Njamah's rights and dignity.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Wade was accused of using the actress's naked video release as a form of blackmail.
Rollas claimed that the guild angrily decried the social media publication of Njamah's personal films.
He alleges that the actor is the target of blackmail by a man who purports to be her lover in order to ruin her reputation and publicly humiliate her.
He said that not only was this wrong, but it was also nasty and unacceptable.
Rollas said: “It is worthy to note that exposing nude videos and photographs of a person, injures her right to privacy is a serious offence.
“Actors Guild of Nigeria stands with Empress Njamah on this and shall provide
full support in areas of counselling to help her recover from the psychological and emotional trauma she is currently passing through.
“We have been in forefront of a campaign of violence against women and we view the action of this so-called evil lover man as an act targeted at eroding her dignity and self-respect.
“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.
“We urge her fans to give her their full support at this time, she will come through this stronger and better.”
