He ought to have been suspended before now. But we decided to allow him go through minor treatments, which he has been defaulting overtimes. But at it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself but also, other actors who might be acting alongside him on set.<\/p>\n<p>We, therefore, have decided to suspend him indefinitely until he gets a clean bill of health from a medical practitioner or a professional that handles drugs abuse.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Williams has starred in movies including Forbidden Love, Wanted By All, Way To My Heart, Two Hearts and Mine Forever alongside other notable Nollywood actors like Don Brymo, Chinenye Ubah, Frederick Leonard and Ebele Okaro.<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: Graphiconline<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\"><\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of .  accepts no responsibility legal or otherwise for their accuracy of content.
