‘People thought I was killed in Saudi’ — Sola Sobowale revisits drug trafficking rumour
Sola Sobowale, the Nigerian actress, has revisited the rumours surrounding her alleged arrest for drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia.
In the recent episode of the ‘King of Talk’ podcast with Teju Babyface, the 58-year-old film star recalled how several negative reports were published about her in Nigeria after she relocated to the United Kingdom to do menial jobs.
The actress said one of such reports was that she was killed in Saudi Arabia for drug trafficking.
She said lots of people were shocked to see her alive when she decided to return to Nigeria.
“The worst of the rumours I heard about me was when they said Sola Sobowale had been killed in Saudi Arabia. That I carried cocaine,” she said.
“It was written here in Nigeria. That I was arrested in Saudi Arabia. That there, they amputated my leg and my hand. And I said to them that I am a star in Nigeria and that they should kill me.
“So when I now got to Nigeria, at the airport, they said ‘Sola Sobowale is dead’. I said do you believe in abracadabra? I said I am alive. I have never been to Saudi Arabia.
“I do not even know where it is on the map. So many negative things. But to God be the glory. God has compensated me.”
