Popular Nollywood actor and singer, Moses Armstrong has been arrested by men of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl.
Confirming his arrest, the national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, during a chat with Qed.ng, described the case as “a very serious one”.
He said it is being handled by the First Lady of the state, Martha Udom Emmanuel through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.
The AGN president added that the accusation was a sad development, as it involves one of their own.
However, he said the organisation 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.

DeleteWhat a shame. What is wrong with people?
ReplyDeletePlease where is YOMI FABIYI?
DeleteCOME AND DEFEND ANOTHER MEMBER OF YOUR CONSTITUENCY O.
He should be dealt with seriously if he is found guilty..
ReplyDeleteI am sure ,he has grown up children that are older than 16.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling people , trust no one 100perc, most crimes are being committed by the ones you think are responsible.
If found guilty" let him serve capital punishment.
A show of shame
Whether or not he slips through the cracks of the legal system, may God personally avenge this evil done against the girl.
DeleteWhen your village people are strongly seating on your case
ReplyDeleteFree village people Zaza..he's highly irresponsible,no disciplined or whatsoever,what pleasure does he want to get from a minor? Shameless man .tueh
DeleteAbeg leave village people, they're presently busy trying to disgrace BAT2023.
DeleteThis one has no control of his dick
On behalf of village people, we no send am o. He is on his own.
DeleteAnoy 9:47 BAT has been long honored you can't bring his name in this mud. ASIWAJU 2023
DeleteHow disgusting and evil to say the least. I hope he faces the full wrath of the law
ReplyDelete🙄🙄
DeleteDouble 🙄🙄
Delete😄😄😄
DeleteLook who we have here😳
DeleteGirl be good this time
Something-light
🤡
DeleteVery shameless thing
ReplyDeleteI dated this guy. I was 17 and he was 35. The relationship was by force cos everyone one feared him in my area. He's a narcissist. Very controlling and short tempered. He was violent too, would snap at every given opportunity and hit me until my mum opened my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI see you refuse to take any responsibility, what business does a 17yr old have with a 35yrs old man?
DeleteHe has been doing this and getting away it, God said his time is up and want to expose him. Heartless men
DeleteFalse prophet...how could you say this. You are one of the reasons people don't share their stories on this blog. She was 17,which regarded by the law as minor,this is an offence committed by a full fledged adult,sommeonne comes forward to attest and you are attacking her. Stop it...
DeleteIf you are in support of Armstrong say so with your full chest,let's count pedophiles.
17yrs no be small pikin again, she should know better, stop making excuses for her. As a 17yr old you no de cross road on your own? E reach prick side na shes a minor
Deletedo some of you process your thoughts at all? so because she was 17 he had a right to hit her? the guy is obviously a serial pedophile but no you will rather blame the victim here. some young girls get into relationships early seeking for various things but it certainly does not justify violence. He should face the consequences of his actions
DeleteFear our teenagers oh.
Delete17yrs dating a 35yrs man, the man is a pedophile and you too open eye agree till he started mistreating u
In the eyes of the law, a 17 year old is a minor. No matter how grown or mature she looks. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Anon 11:14 take note.
DeleteGod bless you MM. I have come to see that the reason some have not committed a particular crime is because they don't have the opportunity to do so. Some others have just not yet been caught.
DeleteWhen I was 12, a 25-year-old asked me out because I was very tall and big for my age.
DeleteI told him that I am too young for such and that all I needed at that moment is to focus on my academics and remain a virgin till I get married.
I also threatened to report him to my Mom and Dad. He begged me not to do so but I still reported him and my mum gave him the serious warning of his life.
A 17-year-old isn't too small to refuse advances from an older man.
Thank you oh Babes, they wont see the truth and say it, if the girl was raped, that na another story, this was a full relationship she entered willingly.
DeleteGod bless you a 17 years old is old enough to say and for the mother to be aware of it is another thing of consideration.
DeletePush up and co did you see this part
DeleteThe relationship was by force cos everyone one feared him in my area.
He should be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteI hope the 16 year old finds total healing.
ReplyDeleteAwom young blood is sweetest. Catch them young and all. Watch him heap the whole blame on the devil now.. Devil sef dan suffer. SMH.

Thank you... Most of these men are pedophiles.
DeleteOr say it wasn't rape, the girl comsented, mad man.
DeleteConsented
DeleteI don't believe my eyes
ReplyDeleteHe might have stepped on some toes
O God pity your children
Which toes? That man has no spec.
DeleteWhat a shame!.. He should be punished if found guilty
ReplyDeleteAkwaibom men are like the hausas, defiling minors is a thing for them, it is a known fact amongst in that region. Quote me anywhere......
ReplyDeleteNaaa, Miss Ess I disagree, not because I am an Akwa Ibom babe. But, being a pedophile is based on the person, not their tribe.
DeleteI've heard of this before, it can't be all of them though.
DeleteMiss Ess how will you generalised all akwa ibom men as pedophile?
DeleteSuch wickedness.
ReplyDeleteThis man...always liking minors even in his movies. I never really liked watching his movies back then
ReplyDeleteChai...what a shame. He should be punished if found guilty. Onye arurumala.
ReplyDeleteThey should investigate this case very well,all this young girls throwing themselves on sugar daddies because of money ,one of my rich 38 years old christian brother almost fell for one 15 years old girl always coming to his house to seduce him ,he will run to his neighbor's house and complain to them,the wife of the neighbor will come and the girl will go out from the house,it happens every Sunday when he is at home after service,when her tricks did not work she started spreading rumours of how tne brother have been wanting to sleep with her,but thank God for his neighbor's who narrated what has been going on,he would have been tag child molester if not for the neighbor's help.Thank God he married last year and the rest is history.......... Josaria
ReplyDeleteWho opened his door to the minor? If the 38 years was not playing dirty with the 15 years old, she would not have the guts to play dirty with him.
DeleteHe did what was right because she is still a child in the eyes of the law. Had he fallen for that trick, the courts will not hear "young girls throwing themselves at sugar daddies".
DeleteThank God he used his brain instead of listening to your advice.
This is why a number of Africans find it hard to cope in civilized crimes. They will be talking statutory rape, JJC- minded people will be bringing out tape rule to measure the girls size or clapping hands and saying a child is seducing an old man.
He should be seriously dealt with. What nonsense! Wetin dey worry some men sef?
ReplyDeleteThis is wickedness you will like for someone to do this to your sister or daughter
ReplyDeleteSome are so sick that they are the ones doing it to their sisters and daughters.
DeleteNawa oh! This is not joke at all.
ReplyDeleteThank God for the gov initiative helping in this case.
ReplyDeleteYou can never see a Nigerian man on a post like this. But if it is anything that denigrates a woman, you will see them, tounge like shovels, body shaking like replies on heat. Guttah phools!
ReplyDeleteSmh!
