Regarding both incidents, Mr Rollas said the Guild is trying to ascertain the authenticity of the videos.
“There’s nothing I can say from the official point of view at the moment, but we have sent out the Guild Chairman of Edo and Delta States first to locate where he is, whether he’s filming and all of that.
“It’s only when we can get that information then we can say something officially. For now, we have no information. Nobody seems to know where he is. I believe it is not something serious,” he said.
He confirmed that Hanks was on set five days ago with Shan George.
The AGN President also cautioned his colleagues, whom he said to use every opportunity to ‘chase clout’, describing the habit as highly deplorable.
According to him, when an actor has a problem, the solution isn’t always to go on social media to draw attention.
“I don’t know why some people in the entertainment industry feel entitled. These people we are talking about also have families. We have Umunna in the everyday Igbo language.
“There’s nobody on the earth who does not have a family. Allow the family to react. The family will tell you whether he needs help or not,” he said.
He further stated that the guild has a Trust Fund headed by veteran actress Joke Sylva.
He called on actors and the public to ask for the AGN trust fund so that when issues like this arise, they don’t have to come to the public to seek help.
He said, “Emotions don’t solve problems. We have created systems that we use to solve these problems. In the last two years, we have distributed over N6 million to our members in need, and we are going further.”

You believe it is not something serious and yet nobody knows he’s whereabout?
ReplyDeleteIt is well with him
ReplyDeleteit's giving Cara Delevingne vibes. hope he gets the rehab he needs. n where is his family in all this?
ReplyDeleteI think the family has every right to tell us what's going on. If they didn't say anything, he's fine, period.
ReplyDeleteDo the needful, wat is there to hide.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasnt posted on iG, would u have taken it seriously, mr emeka?
I pray that he is ok.
DeletePeople do anything these days to attract traffic. If you find him roaming the street, the best you should do is to help immediately within your ability. Then report to your association or his family members. The family members will then take it up from where you stopped or seek for help from the public. Social media should not always be our first point of call. Imagine seeing your brother or relative on social media in a bad position.
ReplyDeleteUna matter don tire una
ReplyDeleteI pray he's better, but one of Hanks problem is alcohol. The guy drinks to stupor too much, the few times have seen him is at a big beer parlour close to our house then in delta state. As in the guys go shayo pieces till he will start misbehaving forgetting he's a celebrity.
