Veteran Nollywood actress, Sola Sobowale, has denied rumours making the round of her alleged arrest and death sentence for drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia.
Sobowaale, who made the denial while appearing on the ‘Deep Drive’ podcast hosted by Teju Babyface, the ‘King Of Boys’ star, recalled that when she left Nigeria for the United Kingdom, lots of negative reports were published about her, including claims that she was killed in the Middle East.
“They killed me in Saudi Arabia that I carried cocaine. They got me arrested and there, they amputated my leg, my hand, and I said to them that I’m a star in Nigeria. And because of that, I said they should kill me and they did,” she sarcastically recounted.
The 58-year-old actress noted that when she arrived in Nigeria, she debunked the story, adding that he has never been to Saudi Arabia.
She said God has compensated her for the negative rumours spread about her.
