Yoruba Movie Actress, Wunmi Yetunde, Arrested For Drug Trafficking by goodguy(m): 10:33pm On Oct 03, 2006
A popular Yoruba movie actress, Hassanat Akinwande Taiwo, popularly known as Yetunde Wunmi, has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for cocaine trafficking. Yetunde Wunmi, P.M. News gathered, was arrested last Saturday night on her way to London. Investigations revealed that she was about to board a Virgin Atlantic plane at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, when eagle-eyed NDLEA officials caught her.

She was said to have been injected to excrete the cocaine she swallowed. As at the time of filing this report, the actress had excreted 92 wraps of cocaine (condom-size) and was still excreting more. A top NDLEA official described her action as unprecedented. “Can you believe it, she has excreted 92 wraps of cocaine and she is yet to finish. This is unprecedented. This will tell you the quantity of the drug she swallowed,” he revealed.

The source disclosed further that the agency cannot determine the weight or quantity of the drug she ingested yet until she finishes excreting the drugs. “We are waiting for her to finish her shit before we start interrogation,” he added. P.M.News gathered further that the light-complexion woman would be taken to the Shaw Road, Ikoyi office of NDLEA after excreting the substances to undergo interrogation. According to the source, she would be expected to disclose the baron who sent her, her destination and whether she had been involved before. Sources said she was taken to her house at Mudashiru Awe Street,Yaba, in handcuffs yesterday during which her house was searched.

For the four days she has been in the net of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), she has continued to excrete wraps of a substance suspected to be cocaine.

As at Tuesday evening, the woman, who was arrested on Saturday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on her way to England, had excreted 92 wraps of the substance and continues to excrete more.

According to security sources, the lady was still being held at the NDLEA office located within the terminal building where she was being given injection to aid the excretion of the drugs.

She was to board Virgin Atlantic Airways’ morning flight to London on Saturday and was randomly picked by NDLEA officials shortly after passing through the FAAN security screening point.

The actress, who wore white jeans and a white shirt, was thereafter taken to the NDLEA office where her body X-ray was taken, the process which revealed the hidden drugs.

She was said to be travelling with a few copies of her latest home video tapes entitled “Orun re”. The source also disclosed that NDLEA officials were still investigating the source of the drug and the barons behind its aborted exportation.

Meanwhile, the detained actress has been suspended indefinitely by the Association of Nigeria Theatre Practitioners (ANTP). An official statement signed by ANTP’s publicity secretary, Mr. Gbenga Debayo, on behalf of the association, condemned the act.

“The association is embarrassed, we expect artistes to be above board. Though we are not constituting ourselves a judge over this matter, for the fact that she can conduct herself in a manner that will make her a suspect in a crime like drug trafficking which we always preach against and to the best of her knowledge, is what ANTP will never associate itself with.

“She’s, therefore, placed on indefinite suspension and the association will not hesitate to take more drastic measures if she’s eventually found guilty, ” the statement read.

Re: Yoruba Movie Actress, Wunmi Yetunde, Arrested For Drug Trafficking by Pamperme: 4:07pm On Nov 28, 2006
i actually pity her. She has been in the industry for so long, she got the Wunmi name from her role in FEYIKOGBON (a yoruba play aired in the late 80's and early 90's) and this just ended her career. Heard Ogogo did the same but they said one of the wraps busted in him (reason for his strange illness), the guy almost die. I really pity this woman sha!,  sad  sad

92, that's alot. she could have died.

How weird, I've always wondered how officals could tell when it's injected. Usually the only thing the person needs to worry about is the packages opening up in their system.
