Abubakar Yakubu, the newly elected President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has reportedly been arrested after being allegedly involved in a fatal car accident in Surulere, Lagos.

Yakubu secured the AGN presidency in a closely contested election, defeating veteran actress Rita Daniels with 116 votes to 113, while three votes were declared invalid.

His election marks a historic milestone as he becomes the first Northern Nigerian to lead the Guild since its official registration in 1998, a position traditionally held by individuals from Southern Nigeria.

The incident in Surulere reportedly resulted in the death of a pedestrian, although details surrounding the accident remain unclear.

Authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding Yakubu’s arrest or the circumstances of the crash.
