Nollywood icon Sola Sobowale has addressed the swirling rumours surrounding her alleged involvement in drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia, firmly debunking the false claims.
The 58-year-old actress reminisced about the barrage of negative reports that followed her departure from Nigeria to the United Kingdom, where she was even rumoured to have met an untimely demise in the Gulf nation.
Sobowale, known for her versatile roles on screen, revealed that she remained unfazed by the onslaught of rumours, attributing her peace of mind to her faith.
She humorously recalled how Nigerian newspapers once speculated about her supposed downfall, including claims that she was reduced to selling food in her sister’s restaurant in London.
Addressing the most egregious falsehood, Sobowale scoffed at reports suggesting she had met a grisly fate in Saudi Arabia, allegedly for drug trafficking.
With a touch of sarcasm, she recounted the absurdity of the story, emphasizing her ignorance of the Middle Eastern country’s geography.
Upon her return to Nigeria, Sobowale promptly dispelled the rumours, reaffirming her commitment to her craft and her family.
Reflecting on her upbringing, she highlighted the importance of parental guidance and credited her parents for instilling valuable principles in her upbringing.
