was on Thursday sent to Kirikiri Prison,
Apapa, Lagos for allegedly being in
possession of 100 master keys.
Miss Akilapa was on Wednesday
detained at the Alade Divisional Police
headquarters in Somolu, Lagos
following a complaint lodged by a
complainant, accusing the actress of
stealing the 100 master keys found on
her.
According to a statement written by
her at the police headquarters, it was
not the first time the suspect would be
accused of stealing.
She said: "There was a day she came
home to see my relative and when I
opened her bag after she went to the
toilet I found a phone that was later
found to have been stolen. We seized
the phone from her and returned it to
the owner despite her denying that she
did not steal the phone."
When the case came up at the
Magistrate's Court in Somolu on
Thursday, the police prosecutor,
Inspector Anyanwu, told the court that
Miss Akilapa was arrested by a mob
that accused her of conspiracy and
stealing of bunches of keys.
The offence, according to the prosecutor, is punishable under section 383, 516 and 517 criminal code of Lagos state.
In her response to the charge during
the court session, the accused, who
claimed to be trained by popular actor
Abbey Lanre, said: "I have featured in
about five films including Aiyelaba.
"I produced Bunmi Akata which I use a
bunch of 100 keys to act. I am also a
makeup artist.
"On the day I was arrested, a woman
named Mama Ayoola, called me and
said that I should bring weaveon for
her. I did not know Mama Ayoola was
not living at that compound. When I
got there, I asked a girl about Mama
Ayoola and she directed me to knock on
the next door.
" An Igbo man peeped from the door
and said Mama Ayo was not living
there. And as I was about going out,
the mob pounced on me, searched my
bags and found the hundred keys with
the weaveon. They later handed me
over to the policemen at Alade
Divisional headquarters."
The accused pleaded not guilty to the
charges and the magistrate, Justice
Mrs. E.A. Adekomaya, granted her bail
in the sum of N14,000 with two
sureties who must own a landed
property in Lagos, with evidence of
paying tax to Lagos state government.
The case was adjourned till 12 March,
2013, while the defendant was moved
to Kirikiri prison in Apapa, Lagos pending when she could perfect her bail conditions.
