Is It True? Ini Edo Arrested In Uk For Drugs by Elgaxton(m): 4:32pm On Apr 22, 2008
Trouble seems to be dogging the steps of talented actress Ini Edo of late. We were told by a source that the actress who claimed to have graduated from University of Calabar was about three weeks ago arrested in United Kingdom for drug related offence.

We doubted it, but the rumour kept coming back strongly and we decided to do some double checks and our findings reveal that the actress actually left for UK, but nobody has heard from her since she left and nobody seems to know her whereabouts.

Even her very close friend, Oge Okoye could not tell what she went to do over there, but she told a film magazine with strong air of confidence that the report of her arrest is a blatant lie. She could not tell when she would be back but said she would be back soon.How soon, we don’t know. The United State number of Philip, her husband to be did not go through as at the time of going to press. We still have doubt about the news; we shall however wait till we hear from Ini before we make our conclusions.

I heard it also, My inlaw that works in Shell (SPDC) here in warri, he came back from work Thursday evening and starts telling us that Ini Edo was arrested because of drugs in U.K

It may be true who knows, what a shame

Does that mean they are not paying her well in the industry.

And the way she is going, it is only God in Heaven that will save her

Actress Ini Edo denies drug rumour. Says ''its a blatant lie''
ACTRESS INI EDO RESPONDS TO DRUG ALLEGATIONS
''someone is out to tarnish my reputation''!

controversial actress iniobong edo is once again in the news and this time its for something far more shocking, a recent publication (not encomium)published
a story of how the actress was aprrehended for drugs and is currently cooling her heels
in police custody.
this report which the actress affirms is a work of her detracters is the hottest talk in town.we contacted the actress who at the time of this interview was in far away asaba on a movie set and she granted us a little time from her busy schedule whilst lamenting that the publication has caused her nothing but sleepless nights.hear her''this
is the worst thing anyone can ever come up with,it is plain wicked and i know that there is a God up there who will fight my battles for me,hes not
sleeping.how in the world can anyone assocaite my name with drugs is what i cannot even comprehend'', the actress whos voice was laced with pain lamented
further and we decided to make this a formal interview by asking her questions which she responded to before returning to continue with the movie she was on
location for.
theres always two sides to every story, here is hers!


1, In a recent publication,it was alleged you were apprehended by NDLEA operatives for being in posession of drugs,can you please
give us the scenario of exactly what happened?
, There is no iota of truth in the story. I don’t know where the story emanated from but for the record, I have never been involved with drugs.I make a
very comfortable income from my job and I am satisfied with it so why would I take such a risk being fully aware of the repercussions?

2, Do you think this is a work of your ''detractors' or you actually did something at the airport which resulted into this news
making the rounds?
, Of course it’s pretty obvious someone has plenty of time on their hands and would stop at nothing in tarnishing my reputation. This rumor was yet another
attempt.

3. What was your mission to the UK? how long was the trip? What day did you return?, I was there on Vacation. I spent about a week and I’ve been back since monday april 14,2008

4, what have you been up to since you returned?


, Work. I had to report to location in Asaba the following day tuesday april 15,2008 and I’m still here as we are conducting this interview.

5, so you are categorically telling everyone now that you were not arrested for drugs either in the UK or in lagos?
, The story was a blatant lie. You can go ahead and contact the NDLEA yourself to confirm. It’s a very simple matter

6, okay lets move on from that one.lets address the issue of your love life if i may use that word. a recent publication also alleges that your lover pracically 'ran' back to the US because of the heat his estranged wife is causing him in lagos,is this true?

, no comment on that please.

7, we hear you are receiving threats to your life, you want to confirm this?

Yes it’s true. I’ve received all sorts and I don’t understand why anyone would want to get rid of me. Those around me will tell you that I’m not a confrontational person; I try to be very cordial with people and to the best of my knowledge, I have not offended anyone .

8.ini,you have a very negative image, does this affect you in your personal life?

, I’ve realized that I can’t stop the Press from putting out fabricated stories about me. I have every reason to believe that this is a gang up.At the end of the day, even though they succeed in creating a negative image of me to the public, I walk around with my shoulders held high because I have a clear
conscience.

9. how do you hope to rid yourself of this negative image, obviously your stunt in trying to be charitable didn’t help you at all.
When the ban was imposed on me, I decided to take advantage of the spare time to catch up on some of the personal things I had to do. The visit to the
Charity home was one of them. Due to the controversies surrounding the Ban, the last thing I wanted was Media attention. It was a private visit and was meant
to be kept under wraps … somehow it was leaked to the Media and I ended up being criticized for using it as a publicity stunt to attract sympathy.

10, you live in nigeria and you are managed by one joy onyeukwu who lives in america,isnt this kind of PR expensive?
, I agree it’s expensive but it was an important career decision I had to make. The Entertainment industry here could be very challenging. I needed someone
experienced with a genuine interest in me and one I could rely on for career guidance.

11, what reactions do your parents have to the negative press trailing you?

, I thank God for the kind of parents I have…. From day one, they have been very supportive of my career. No one knows me as well as they do so when they read these sort of rumors; they are not bothered because they know the truth.

12, why is your website www.iniedo.tv another venue through which your fans can get to you no longer available on the internet?
, We had some issues that needed to be addressed. It should be back online within the next month or so…but in the meantime, my fans on Myspace could reach me through my official page - MySpace.com - Ini Edo

13, you are on Facebook are you the person managing the ID or is someone else doing it for you?
, (Laughs) It’s really me…. I haven’t had time to log on for a while but as soon as I have some free time, I will.
14, if you were to address your fans via here, what impression about yourself would you like to correct?
It’s important they know that I am not what the Media portrays me to be. I am a human being and I am bound to make mistakes but most of the negative stories they’ve read about me are untrue. I worked really hard to get this far in the industry and I will not associate myself with anything that would put my career in jeopardy.
