As the Actors Guild of Nigeria [AGN] crisis deepens in both National level and in Imo State, our sources have it that a plot to arrest and detain Nollywood actor cum producer Emeka Ike was averted in Owerri.

Emeka Ike who was billed to arrive Owerri, Imo State this week in what we saw as the anointing of his factional leaders in the state, could have landed in police net alongside his leaders if not for their early release.

Last week, the trio of Chikodi Nwafor [aka Mopol], Ogali Best and Ogwa Na Ogwa were arrested and detained by Imo State police command on an allegation that they were selling a fake AGN pageant form.

Our sources have it that Mopol was initially arrested and when his right men Ogali and Ogwa went to the police station to know why their colleagues was arrested, they were also detained not knowing that their names and others including Emeka Ike have been submitted to the Police as collaborators in the alleged crime.

We also learnt that the aim of the arrest was to humiliate and handicap Emeka Ike who has been fighting tooth and nail to gain the whole AGN from former and factional National President Ibinabo Fibersima who is still working with Mr. Umez Chibueze Nnanna professionally known as Conac Umez, another factional president in Imo State just like Chikodi Nwafor [aka Mopol].

The trio were expected to remain in police net till their boss Emeka Ike arrives Owerri. Our source revealed that with the name of the Nollywood super star on the list, he would surely end in police net if he makes any trip to the police station to seek the release of his men. The early release of the trio has foiled that plan, meaning that if something similar does not happen within the week, Emeka Ike would be arriving Owerri to meet his foot soldiers in one piece.

The arrest however turned into a hero and villain show when Ogali posted a picture of himself, Mopol and Ogwa, thanking Conac for making them AGN heroes in the state.

Emeka Ike is expected to arrive Owerri this week, and no one can still predict what will be the next line of attack from the camp of Conac Umez. But one thing certain is that if Mopol and his camp have not learnt anything, it will be to always be on guard.

Conac Umez alleged that there is no way Mopol and his group could be selling AGN pageant forms when there is no election in record that brought him to office.
