AGN crisis update: BoT members fire back at Emeka Ike

Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Prince Ifeanyi Dike has opened up on the crisis rocking the guild, insisting that Emeka Ike ceased to be a member of the guild since 2009, when they published a disclaimer on him in a Newspaper.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Prince Dike insisted that, having ceased to function as a member of the guild, Emeka Ike never obtained any judgment or victory against members of the Board of Trustees of the guild.

According to him, “we have decided to talk to the press concerning what have been dished out by Emeka Ike concerning his litigation with the members of the Board of Trustees of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. Emeka Ike has been telling the world that he has won his case against the Board of Trustees of the guild, and that he has been declared the President of the body.

We need to correct this falsehood deliberately being peddled around obviously for political gains of the bearer of the false information.”

“The truth is that Emeka Ike did not get any judgment or victory against members of the Board of Trustees of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. His case is suit No FHC/L/CS/365/2011 and it is still pending before Honourable Justice Tsoho of the Federal High Court Lagos.

It has been adjourned to Thursday April 16, 2015 for hearing of the objection filed by Emeka Ike against the appearance of our new counsel in the matter. If his case is still pending before the court, how can the same court declare him to be the President without deciding the matter finally?
