Nollywood actor Jerry Williams has reportedly been arrested by Nigerian security operatives, according to claims made by film producer Stanley Ontop.
Ontop alleged that the actor was picked up from his apartment on July 21, 2025, in an operation he believes was instigated by one Nwafor Franklin, popularly known as Izutech. He warned that if anything happens to Williams, Izutech should be held responsible.
Narrating the incident, Ontop said he arrived at Williams’ residence shortly after the arrest, but the operatives had already left. “Before I got to Jerry’s apartment, they had already taken him away. I tried to chase them with my car, but I couldn’t catch up,” he wrote in a social media post.
Jerry Williams has previously faced challenges related to substance abuse, which led to his indefinite suspension by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) in June 2023. At the time, the AGN cited concerns for both his well-being and the safety of colleagues on set.
As of now, official confirmation of the arrest or details surrounding the incident have yet to be released by authorities.
