In what can only be described as a scene from a Nollywood movie, screen diva Uche Jombo recently saved Ghanaian actor Van Vicker from a real-life detention in the hands of the SSS!!
Impeccable sources revealed to Bola Aduwo that Van was in Nigeria a couple of days ago. Apparently he had got some prop guns from America which he planned to use for a movie. After passing all security checks, he entered the plane and while on-board; his attention was called to by airport security to identify what he had in his luggage. He identified that they were prop guns, the security personnel at the airport were not convinced and said they have to get their experts in Ikoyi to check this out! That was how Van was whisked off to the SSS gulag in Ikoyi where he eventually passed the night!
Just before Van was about to enter the SSS Office, he had the presence of mind to contact his wife and a colleague, Uche Jombo who at that time was attending the AMAAs. He bb’ed his situation to her and described where he was. Unfortunately for him because of the noise at the event and her low battery power, she did not see the messages till the following morning! When she did, Uche quickly sprung into action and began to pull strings! To cut a long story short, Van was later released but without his prop guns! A narrow escape I will call that!
