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.
Reflecting on his military training experience, Momodu who
tagged it as the fulfilment of his dream, also dedicated his enlistment to his
father who served in the Nigeria Police Force before his death 20 years ago.
“On April 12, 2026, I honoured my late father in a historic
way. 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.
The actor is now serving as Specialist (SPC) J.A. Momodu
with the 1st Platoon, Charlie Company, 3-10, 3rd Battalion, 10th Infantry
Regiment, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.
