Well isn’t this interesting in a nollywood way. Nollywood stars Uche Jumbo & Van Vicker earlier today were detained by Bode Thomas police. They were on set shooting a movie when the arrests were made.
Uche tweeted while at the station “So we are at d bode thomas police station watching this whole * police location drama play out! #iWeepForNigeria”.
Later on it was revealed that they were arrested for the bad portrayal of the Nigerian Police force in their movies. They have been released.
It was a very bad day for top Ghanaian actor, Van Vicker over the weekend as he was arrested over possession of arms in Lagos.
Reports say that the actor was in Lagos for the Africa Movies Academy Awards (AMAA) which he missed due to his arrest.
He was moved to the security agency’s office in Ikoyi when he could not convince that he was in possession of arms meant for a movie props.
While on the plane, he was asked to explain what was in his luggage after the arms were detected.
Efforts to get to a colleague of hers, Uche Jombo was abortive as she was already at AMAA while her phone reportedly went off.
This made the actor to spend the night in SSS’s custody.
Uche was said to then help in Van Vicker’s release on Monday when she eventually got his message on her BlackBerry Messenger.
We learnt that Van is now in Ghana.
Check out the trailer to this Nollywood movie, Amina which stars Van Vicker, Omotola, Alison Caroll & Wil Johnson. The movie was shot in London, and is directed by Christian Ashaiku.

Amina is a deeply emotional story of loss, love and redemption. It is a story about a fragile young woman, who’s life turns into disarray after an unplanned pregnancy leaves her totally devastated and bewildered.
Unsure and vulnerable, she fights single-handedly to raise an unwanted child, but stumbles and falls at every turn. She sinks deeper into emotional turmoil until she is eventually put in the care of a secure pyschiactric institution.
Only one man (her psychiatrist) cares enough to unravel the dark forces surrounding Amina. However, he must first overcome his own demons before he can help Amina confront her tormented past and guide her to finally face her future with hope.
