Nollywood actress yetunde akilapa charged with n7m theft #

According to reports, Yetunde Akilapa, a Nigerian actress, has been charged with stealing N7 million (approximately $18,500 USD) from a Lagos-based businessman.

The incident allegedly occurred on January 14, 2022, when Akilapa, who is also known as Yetunde Akinlaja, was invited to the businessman's residence to collect a sum of N7 million. However, instead of collecting the money, she allegedly stole it and fled the scene.

The police arrested Akilapa on January 15, 2022, and she was subsequently charged with theft before a Lagos Magistrates' Court.

The prosecutor, Inspector Benson Emuerhi, told the court that the accused person committed the offense at about 10:00 pm on January 14, 2022, at the businessman's residence in the Lekki area of Lagos.

Emuerhi alleged that Akilapa stole the sum of N7 million, which was meant for a business transaction, and that she was caught while attempting to flee the scene.

The accused person, Yetunde Akilapa, pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties.

The case has been adjourned to March 15, 2022, for further hearing.

It's worth noting that this is not the first time Akilapa has been involved in a controversy. In 2013, she was arrested and charged with stealing N102 million (approximately $250,000 USD) from a Lagos-based businessman. She was subsequently sentenced to 24 years in prison, but was later granted bail and released from prison.

It's unclear at this time what led to Akilapa's alleged theft of N7 million, but the incident has sparked widespread outrage and concern among fans and colleagues in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
