Popular Yoruba actress, Yewande Adekoya has reportedly been
placed under house arrest in the United States of America for crimes related to
credit card scam and bank transfer fraud.
The actress, who became popular with the film, Kudi Klepto
was said to have foolishly fallen prey to some Nigerians in Atlanta Georgia who
made use of her bank accounts for fraudulent fund transfer.
The award-winning actress, who is married to actor and movie
producer, Abiodun Thomas, is ordered to home arrest and instructed to surrender
her passport while investigations are still ongoing.
“Her account was used to make some fraudulent transfers in
the United States and she was arrested for questioning. This is no new practice
among some Nigerian actors and their foreign fraudulent promoters who use them
for such crimes and they get huge cuts from such deals,” a source revealed to
Kemiashefonlovehaven in Atlanta, US.
The actress, who travelled to the US in October 2017 for the
Oodua Image Awards in Houston Texas, hasn’t returned to Nigeria since then. She
is said to have stayed back to shoot a film before the criminal act was
committed. Married to actor and movie producer, Abiodun Thomas, the “Iyawo
Adedigba” actress is still keeping her social media accounts especially
Instagram, active. She recently gave a birthday shout-out and posted photos of
her husband whose birthday was December 25.
She cannot return to Nigeria until investigations are over.
Which kain igbese be dis?
Somebody will just be on their own jeje, one criminal will be using your details for scam.
Anyone could fall prey hence the system must be upgraded to checkmate fraudsters.
I am saying all these with the assumption that the crime happened over her head.
You never know...
