Seun Egbegbe after he was caught stealing iPhones
Tope Babayemi, Interim Chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN),
Lagos chapter on Friday described the alleged theft of nine iPhones by
Oluwaseun Olasunkanmi as shameful.
Babayemi said that the law must take its course if he is tried and found guilty.
Olasunkanmi popularly known as “Seun Egbegbe’’ was alleged to have stolen nine iPhones at the Computer Village, in Ikeja.
“For me, it’s an example of bad practice and by extent it’s an
example of the kind of thing we as a society are working hard to
discourage.
“At the level of the guild and association, because we are not a
hundred percent settled, there are court cases and issues at the
national level that are affecting issues at the state chapters.
“My position as interim chairman is that no formal request has been made to us for assistance in anyway.
“As such what you do in that kind of situation is you allow the
law to take its course, because law and order is paramount in building
society.
“If he has been found to commit that offence, the law must take its course.’’
Babyemi advised upcoming artistes to desist from engaging in acts
that could tarnash their image as well as that of the association.
