Nollywood Actress Yetunde Akilapa seeks deliverance

This is not the best time for up and coming actress, Yetunde Akilapa, who was beaten black and blue recently for allegedly trying to burgle a house in Magodo, Lagos. The budding actress reportedly said she had relocated to Ibadan to “seek the face of God.”

Although it was in the news that the babe was remanded in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons before the latest incident, the young lady has said she was not put in prison.

“I am fed up with life. I am not what people think I am. I have never been to Kirikiri Maximum Prisons as alleged. God please help me out of this mess! As I am speaking with you now, I am in Ibadan, Oyo State, seeking the face of God and I believe I would get out of this dilemma one day. I am not a kleptomaniac. I have not stolen anything.”

Her lawyer, Barrister Bosun Osifowora, in a statement released earlier in the week, reiterated that the lady was not in prison custody neither was she banned from acting.

The statement in part reads,   “We write to expressly correct the impression that Yetunde Akilapa has been banned or suspended. She has not received verbal or written notice to that effect. Yetunde is sorry and remorseful that her name is involved in such things.  Yetunde was never in Kirikiri prisons during the first case. The matter was charged to court and she got bail.

“Yetunde was never accused of stealing. The accuser suspected she may have been sent to drop some fetish substance.  The case got a twist when in an effort to prove her innocence of diabolical intentions, she confidently stated she is a budding actress. One of the guys googled her name and found the previous story, hit her in a swift reaction, hence she fainted. The guy has since apologised,” he said in the statement.
