Popular Nigerian actor, Joseph Momodu, has quit his acting career to join the United States army.
He announced the development in an Instagram post over the weekend months after his relocation to the US.

Twenty years after his passing, I picked up the baton where he left off in the Nigeria Police Force and carried it forward by getting enlisted into the United States Army. “There were moments of doubt and times I questioned myself, ‘who send me message sef’?
But I never lost sight of the finish line.
