Again, Police Nabs Yetunde Akilapa For Burglary In Lagos

Barely three months after she was released from prison for an alleged robbery, budding Yoruba actress, Yetunde Akilapa, has reportedly been detained again by the police for an alleged house burglary in Lagos. Gist flying revealed that Yetunde was once more caught in possession of a bunch of master keys, which she allegedly used to burgle a house in Magodo estate area of Lagos. She was reportedly caught by residents of the estate and beaten to a pulp before being handed over to the police. Recall that shortly after regaining freedom from the prison, through the court, she granted an interview to a Lagos-based magazine, First Weekly, claiming she was framed up by her friends. She had also told the paper that the keys found on her then were props used for her film, ‘Bunmi Akata’. Yetunde was then arrested in February 2013 for an alleged robbery in Akoka area of Lagos and was detained at Alade Police Station in Shomolu. She is a member of the Odunfa Caucus in the Yoruba movie industry which has Ogogo, Yinka Quadri as some of its leaders.
