Nollywood actor, Jerry Williams has voluntarily admitted himself to a rehab facility for drug addiction following his suspension from acting by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).

According to NollyNow, an insider confirmed that Jerry Williams is currently undergoing intensive therapy at an undisclosed rehab center, focusing on his health and recovery.
