We’re in firm solidarity with Empress Njamah – Nigerian entertainers
The Association of Entertainment Practitioners of Nigeria says it is in full solidarity with their member and Nollywood star, Empress Njamah on leaked video online, saying there is nothing to worry over the video.
The body says her image is not in any way at stake as she did not indulge in any scandalous affair, insisting that the video does not in any way reduce the enviable personality of Njamah whom it says has distinguished herself in the industry both in character and professional prowess.
Njamah’s video, allegedly released by her estranged fiance simply identified as Josh, had surfaced online. Divergent opinions have been expressed in response to it, with some online users demanding Josh’s arrest and prosecution for using blackmail against the actress.
She was said to have called off their engagement, a move that didn’t go well with Josh who in reaction threatened to release the videos.
But in reaction to the development, the president of the Association of Entertainment Practitioners, Agility Onwurah in a statement said the video is a regrettable height undesirable elements can desperately go in proving a point where none exists, wondering what the suspect seeks to achieve with his demonstration of frustration and low life.
He said Mr. Josh had intended to disparage and incite hatred and disdain in the minds of right-thinking people of the public toward the lovely actress, but instead he ended up exposing his low life and never-do-well attitude.
“This is not the first time our people encounter such scenario. In fact is is a recurrent decimal that induces little or no euphoria.
“What is however worrisome is how a man who was preparing for marriage, a man who claims to have attained maturity and ready to house a wife and father children could stoop so low and debase himself even lower than could ever be imagined that a right thinking person can go.
“What is more cheering to our great association and indeed Nigerians is that they understand the character of Empress Njamah who has consistently remain a model of decency and sound character even right from her teenage age. Never has she been associated with any scandal of any form.
“Whatever thing that may have transpired between she and the fellow who claimed to have loved her was just an honest act of trust which does not in any way impede on her morals”, he said.
Mr. Onwurah vowed that the association will take every legal action to get Josh arrested and have him face the full wrath of the law for such a malicious blackmail.
He also urged online media practitioners to cooperate with the association and ensure that its circulation is halt henceforth.
Mr. Onwurah reaffirmed the association’s readiness to continue defending the reputation of its members against desperate blackmailers whose goal is to undermine years of toil and effort to develop a successful career.
