Popular Nollywood actress, Sola Sobowale, has dismissed rumors suggesting she was arrested for drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia.
She mentioned that a similar rumor surfaced during her recent trip to the United Kingdom.
She however, recounted that upon leaving Nigeria for the UK, numerous negative claims were made about her, including one stating that she was deceased.
She refuted these rumors during a live conversation on the 'Teju Baby Face Show', with a clip of the discussion shared on her Instagram account on Wednesday, May 1st.
She said: “It was written in this Nigeria that they killed me in Saudi Arabia, that I carried cocaine in Saudi Arabia, they got me arrested and there, they amputated my leg, my hand and I said to them ‘Please I’m a star in Nigeria, because of that kill me, so they killed me.
"So when I got to Nigeria at the airport they just went berserk, they said ‘Sola Sobowale is dead now’ and I said ‘Do you believe in abracadabra?’ They said yes. ‘I have commanded everything back that’s why that’s why I’m back.'
“So when I got to Nigeria, I said ‘Look, I’m alive. I’ve never been to Saudi Arabia. I don’t even know where Saudi Arabia is on the map. So how did I get there? How did they kill me there? So many negative things but to God be the glory, God has compensated me beautifully.”
In 2011, there were allegations that the actress was implicated in drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia, where it was rumored she was arrested and even killed. However, Sola Sobowale refuted these speculations.
