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 of Nollywooduncut what went down! The drama took place when Van was in Nigeria a couple of days ago. Apparently he had got some prop guns from America which he planned to use in a movie. The actor said he had reached a point in his career where he felt he needed items which will look as real as possible in his movies. After passing all security checks, he entered the plane and while in the plane his attention was called to to identify what he had in his luggage! He identified that they were prop guns, the security persons 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 office in Ikoyi where he eventually passed the night!
Enter Uche Jombo!
Just before Van was about to enter the SSS Office, he had the presence of mind to contact his wife and a fellow actor, Uche Jombo who at that time was attending the AMAAs. He bbed his his situation to her and described where he was. Unfortunately for him because of the noise at the event and her low battery, 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!
