The Yoruba Movie actress Yetunde Akilapa, narrates her side of the story in an interview
with Encomium magazine. She says the whole incident on January 12 was a
mystery to her(
read it here) but she has been delivered by God. Excepts from her
interview below....
How did the incidence of January 12 2014 happen. It was
reported that you were caught in the dining room of a house in Magodo,
and the owner of the house met you there with suspicion that you
are there for the wrong reasons. Can you shed more light on the story?
That day I wanted to take my clothes to dry-cleaners.
Meanwhile my younger sister had told me earlier that she was not feeling
fine. I now planned to go her place after dropping my clothes. I told
my friend whom I was putting up with in Ketu that I wanted to go to
Bariga to see my sister. That day I also wanted to go to church but I
didnt know what happened to me. I just decided to forget about church.
As I wanted to board a bus to Bariga, something told me to cross to the
other side of the road and take keke NAPEP going to Magodo. That was how
I boarded the keke going to Magodo with my bag, clothes and four keys
on me. On getting to Magodo, I saw a house and went there straight. I
didn't see any gateman there. I opened the door because it wasnt locked.
I entered the house and slept off in the dining room. That's all I knew
till one man just woke me up.
He started interrogating me, asking me a lot of questions which I could
not answer. He didn't accuse me of coming to rob or steal
anything but he only wanted to know who i was looking for. But I didn't
know what to say because everything was like a mystery to me. He said i
should go first. As I wanted to step out, he instructed the security men
there not to allow me move an inch. They were all shouting Thief!
Thief!!.
Immediately he picked his phone and called his brother,
telling him he met a strange woman in the house when he came back from
church and when he was leaving the house, he locked the door. So he was
suprised when he found me in their dining room. How did she enter? He
started saying a lot of things, I was trying to explain to them that I
didnt use any key to open the door, I just entered and sat on the dining
table and that was how i slept off. I told them i was also confused, I
couldnt explain how I got to their place. That was the time i began to
realize i was at the wrong place. Then when the owner of the house came,
he also started interrogating me, he said i should confess the person
that sent me. He asked weather I was sent to kill him. He thought I came
with fetish things, and I said no. He said I should just confess. He
even said maybe I was sent to kill his wife. He never accused me of
stealing. As he was saying all of this, I was pleading, telling them i
wanted to give my clothes to the drycleaners. They asked of the person's
name and I told them Bisi. And they checked my phone and found her
number. When they called her to find out, she told them she didnt say
Magodo but Maryland. That was how they said I was not saying the truth,
that i didn't want to expose the person that sent me. Before I knew it,
one guy just hit me in the head with a club. That's all I knew.
By the time I regained consciousness, they had invited my friend.
When she came, she was shocked to see me in that state. She was
screaming. Those people now concluded that they would take me to the
police station but before then, they took me to a private hospital to
get me treated. When we got to the police station,they started drilling
me and I explained the way I explained to them at the house. They asked
the owner of the house if I stole anything, he said no but the way they
found me in the house was suspicious. He said maybe I was sent by
somebody on a diabolical mission. Their pastor also came and I explained
the whole thing to him also, he prayed for me. He said my problem is
spiritual. He said God wanted to deliver me that's why I came to that
house that day. But now, my problem is over. That's how I was asked to
go.
Yetunde who says she is currently in a relationship said
despite all the embarrassment this has caused her, her man has remained
by her side all through.
