The Chairman, Board of Trustees [BOT] of AGN, Prince Ifeanyi Dike, claimed that making the decision was inevitable as Emeka’s alleged misconduct and anti-guild activities are becoming unbearable. “The actors in Nigeria have unanimously decided to suspend Emeka Ike indefinitely for anti-guild activities.
