He said it is being handled by the First Lady of the state, Martha Udom Emmanuel through her Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path Initiative.
The AGN president added that the organisation will not condone such a crime.
Rollas said: “To get involved with a child as young as 16yrs, is not something I and the association I represent, would stand for.
“This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I wouldn’t want to comment any further on this case.”
Armstrong, until his arrest was a Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
