Actor Moses Armstrong Nollywood veteran and singer has been Arrested by men of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command for allegedly Defiling a Minor.
Confirming the story and his arrest, the Actors Guild of Nigeria, National president Emeka Rollas, during a chat with news men described the case as “a very serious one” as it is being handled by the Martha Udom Emmanuel First Lady of the state, through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.
The AGN president added that the accusation was indeed a sad and image denting development, as it involves one of their own but the organization will not condone such a crime.
“To get involved with a child as young as 16yrs, is not something I and the association I represent, would stand for. “This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I wouldn’t want to comment any further on this case,” he said.
Armstrong until his arrest was a Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel. He lost his wife and colleague, Rita Armstrong in 2018.
Rita according to reports died from spinal cord injuries she sustained from an accident while returning to her husband’s residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state from Lagos on Saturday, February 3, 2018. The Akwa Ibom Transport Company (AKTC) bus conveying her got involved in a ghastly crash at the Ugbogui axis of Benin-Ore-Lagos Expressway.
