Nigerian actress Hilda Dokubo has been suspended from her membership in the Labour Party at her ward in Asari Toru local government area of Rivers state.
According to NAN, the suspension followed an emergency meeting of the party’s ward executive committee on July 15.
Dokubo, who serves as the LP’s chairperson in Rivers, faces allegations of financial misconduct, abuse of office, and violating party regulations, among others.
A letter signed by ward chairman Ajalamonia Ibama, secretary Lole Amacheer, and treasurer Emmanuel Ibama confirmed her suspension, addressed to the LP chairman of Asari Toru.
Others who signed the letter are Osaki Dieypiriye, the women leader, and Osaki Dokubo, the publicity secretary.
The ward executives said the decision was made following a thorough investigation into the allegations against the 54-year-old actress.
They argued that substantial evidence had been uncovered to support their claims.
Dokubo made her Nollywood debut during her youth service in a 1992 film titled ‘Evil Passion’.
She has since been featured in several other films including ‘Gone Forever’, ‘End of the Wicked’, and ‘My Goodwill’.
Dokubo won the ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’ and the ‘Best Actress in a Comedy’ categories at the 11th Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).
In 2022, she declared interest in contesting the Asalga/Akulga federal constituency in the house of representatives under the Labour Party.
