Veteran Nollywood actress Sola Sobowale has addressed the false rumors circulating about her alleged arrest for drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia.
In an exclusive interview on the ‘King of Talk’ podcast with Teju Babyface, Sobowale, 58, shed light on the misconceptions that plagued her reputation upon her return to Nigeria after working in the United Kingdom.
Dispelling the outrageous claims, Sobowale expressed her astonishment at the rumors that had spread in Nigeria while she was away.
Her words: “The worst of the rumours I heard about me was when they said Sola Sobowale had been killed in Saudi Arabia. and that I carried cocaine,” she said.
“It was written here in Nigeria. I was arrested in Saudi Arabia. That there, they amputated my leg and my hand. And I said to them that I am a star in Nigeria and that they should kill me.
“So when I now got to Nigeria, at the airport, they said ‘Sola Sobowale is dead’. I said do you believe in abracadabra? I said I am alive. I have never been to Saudi Arabia.
“I do not even know where it is on the map. So many negative things. But to God be the glory. God has compensated me.”
