Nollywood Actress Uche Jumbo Arrested For "Abusing" Nigeria Police

Report reaching us indicates that Nollywood top actress, Uche Jumbo, Ghanaian actor, Van Vicker and some crew members were arrested by men of the Nigeria Police in Lagos on Thursday.

It was gathered that the beautiful actress and her colleagues were picked up while on location in the Surulere area of Lagos. As at the time of posting, they were still detained at Bode Thomas police station in the city.

Yes, they now know why the police arrested them. I think it was a mixed up kind of because they are not the only ones guilty of this offence... The policemen say Nollywood movies always abuse and misrepresent Nigeria police, and painting them in bad light. So they want to know what the movie they were shooting is all about before knowing whether to allow it or not, a source told a reporter.

Efforts by one of my peeps to speak directly with either Uche Jumbo or Van Vicker to know the next line of action proved abortive.

Uche Jombo Saves Van Vicker From SSS Detention

In what can only be described as a scene from a Nollywood movie, screen diva Uche Jombo recently saved Ghanaian actor Van Vicker from a real-life detention in the hands of the SSS!!

Impeccable sources revealed to Bola Aduwo that Van was in Nigeria a couple of days ago. Apparently he had some prop guns from America which he planned to use in a movie. After passing all security checks, he entered the plane and while on-board, his attention was called to by airport security to identify what he had in his luggage. He identified that they were prop guns, the security  personnel at the airport were not convinced and said they have to get their experts in Ikoyi to check it out! That was how Van was whisked off to the SSS gulag in Ikoyi where he eventually passed the night!  

Just before Van was about to enter the SSS Office, he had the presence of mind to contact his wife and a colleague, Uche Jombo who at that time was attending the AMAAs. He BBed his situation to her and described where he was. Unfortunately for him because of the noise at the event and her low battery power, Uche did not see the messages till the following morning! When she did, Uche quickly sprung into action and began to pull strings! Van was later released but without his prop guns.
