Yetunde Wunmi has recounted her ordeal 20 years after she was arrested for a drug-related offence
In September 2006, Wunmi was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos by officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) while she was on her way to Europe.
The actress, who was arrested for possession of cocaine, was later sentenced to two years in prison.
Speaking in an interview with Feel Right TV, Akinwande recalled the moment of her arrest, saying she questioned how she ended up in such a situation.
She said she once possessed the gift of foresight but could not explain why it deserted her when it mattered most, adding that she dreamt of the incident twice.
The actress said she now sees her ordeal as divine protection from a worse fate, wondering aloud whether a greater calamity had been averted.
Akinwande expressed gratitude to God and vowed never to repeat the act, while acknowledging the support she received from both acquaintances and strangers.
“Before that incident that happened to me that caused my ban from entering London again, the day they arrested me, it got to a stage that I thought about it that ‘why me? How did I get here? Am I sleeping or dreaming?” she said.
“I used to have a gift at a time that I would have foreseen whatever would happen. I do not know why I no longer have that gift. I dreamt about the incident twice.
“Sometimes when I am driving, I used to think maybe my experience at the time was because God hid me from an evil that was to happen to me at the time. I would be thinking this car should just explode.
“It was around that period that the thing happened to me. I appreciated God. I said, what if a greater ordeal had happened to me? I also vowed to God that I would never do such again.
“People rose up for me, including those I did not know or have met.”
