According to blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus, Ms. Akilapa is not a first
time offender when it comes to pilfering, sometime in February last
year she was arrested and detained for theft in Somolu area of Lagos
State but a conviction could not be obtained due to lack of sufficient
evidence.
Another incident occurred where she was caught red-handed and beaten
by an angry residents before she was taken away by the police.
This is how blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus explained the incident:
On Sunday Morning of January 12, 2014, there was a loud noise
in Magodo phase 2, No 15 Ibitayo street to be precise and people were
shouting ”thief thief”! and running after a lady in a black dress…the
lady in the black dress was running like a horse without shoes, running
inside a walled estate…
unfortunately for her, before she could get to the gate, the security on duty mobilised and caught her.
She was escorted back to number 15 Ibitayo street where she had
been caught inside the master bedroom with a bunch of master keys
hidden in her brassiere.
Funny enough the occupants of this house are not friends with
the actress and have never met her before or share close friends with
her but something strange may be the missing link.
A day before their Nanny resigned from the job stating she could no longer do it… strange? Probably a coincidence.
The occupants of the flat had gone to church but the sister to
the head of the family arrived home a little early to attend to
her business…*now imagine this scenario*
She put the key into the lock, opened the door, goes inside to
find Yetunde who was startled and started stammering, she was asked what
she was doing there and after mumbling some mumbo-jumbo, she exited the
flat and ran with her legs touching the back of her head… there were
cries of ”thief” to attract others and after they caught her, she was
beaten to a pulp, questioned and handed over to the Police after she
implicated a lot of innocent people in her story… these people however
arrived the venue to clear their names after agreeing that they know
her.
Yetunde’s younger sister was called on the phone to come and
see her sister who had been involved in an accident but the sister
refused that she would come to the venue and hung up the phone.
According to the report Yetunde insisted she had gone to wait for a friend inside the flat….
She could not answer how she found herself inside until she was searched and a bunch of master keys found inside her brassiere.
In February 2013, Yetunde was arrested for stealing a bunch of
master keys…she was sent to Kirikiri prison and after a few months
there, she gained her freedom in November 2013 and in December 2013 she
granted an interview describing how her friends set her up
Yetunde, who is in the Odunfa Caucus of the Yoruba film
industry headed by veteran actors; Taiwo Hassan aka Ogogo and Yinka
Quadri, alleged that her friends set her up, which was why she went
through the bitter experience, she said it was all because of a little
misunderstanding and disclosed that she had since stopped her
relationship with those who implicated her. She disclosed that her
friends, who got her into trouble, even behaved as if they were trying
to help her out of the case, but that they were actually behind her
being thrown into the police net and taken to court.
Yetunde is currently being detained for attempted theft and
possession of a bunch of master keys….probably the same one she was
accused of stealing last year but acquitted because they found nothing
on her.yetunde crying on the floor after being beaten and disgraced
