Yewande Akilapa is an upcoming Nollywood actress. She has made the news, not for acting, but for her involvement in theft.
Accordinf to reports by Stella Dimoko Korkus, Akilapa was caught
stealing on Sunday January 12th 2014. Prior to this she had been
arrested for theft in 2013, “Her matter was in the news in February
2013, when it was reported that she was arrested for robbery by the
police in Alade, in Somolu area of Lagos State. She was later taken to
court by the police for prosecution, but she was discharged and
acquitted after the court said her prosecutor didn’t present a proper
case that could lead to her conviction”.
Another incident occurred on Sunday where she was caught red-handed
and beaten by an angry residents before she was taken away by the
police.

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 gone 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 Febuary 2013,
Yetunde was arrested for stealing a bunch of master keys… she was sent
to kiri kiri 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 begging and swearing she would never do it again.
