KanyiDaily had reported how the popular actor was arrested by the police for allegedly defiling the minor about three years ago.

The alleged victim, who was said to have been schooling outside Nigeria, returned to the country recently and thereafter petitioned the wife of the state governor with respect to the rape allegation.

Armstrong’s friends took to their Facebook page on Wednesday, August 10, where they shared photos of themselves celebrating his release outside the courtroom.

This comes a few months after Moses Armstrong was suspended by the Actor Guild of Nigeria following the investigation of the AGN into the rape case.
