Fast-rising
Yoruba actress, Temmy who has spent the past 5 years in a Dubai prison
for drug trafficking has been released and is back in Nigeria.
According
to City People Magazine, the plumpy actress who rocked many party
scenes in Lagos before she was caught in the web of drug trafficking by
Dubai authorities came back into the country last week. She arrived at
Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos into the waiting hands of
the father of her baby girl. City People Magazine has it on good
authority that Temmy and her man will soon be walking down the aisle. As
you read this, the actress has not indicated any intention to return to
movie location to continue her career in acting.
About 5 years ago, news filtered in from the oil rich United Arab
Emirates State of Dubai that Temmy had been jailed for 10 years for drug
trafficking. Nothing was heard about her until a year later when news
broke that she has been delivered of a baby girl while in prison.
Sources who know the high flying actress confirmed to City People
magazine, that shortly before her arrest in Dubai, she was seen around
with a top baron in Dubai. Having a baby, traditionally, is a thing of
joy, but for the beautiful Nigerian actress it’s a sad tale to have her
first baby in a gas chamber and worst of it all, far from her
fatherland, Nigeria. A source revealed:
“Nigerians in Dubai have
neglected Temmy like a bad habit for fear of arrest. All her efforts to
reach her close pals in Dubai to come to her aid shortly after she had
the baby proved abortive as friends and business associates have all
avoided her like a plague.”
Though, Temmy initially
bagged a 21-year jail term, her condition as a pregnant woman then, was
said to have made them reduce it to 10 years. It will be recalled that
when Temmy was arrested for drugs, she was not lucky enough when the
custodians of UAE law and constitution found her wanting aside the drug
issue.
Temmy, CP learnt, had police cases of stealing and forgery
inside Dubai major markets and had been warned severally never to
return to country again. But as fate would have it, she was said to have
used another forged name and documents to enter Dubai while she was
trafficking drugs. Left with no choice of curbing her excesses, the UAE
authorities gave her two options. Firstly, to be amputated on her left
arm and right leg or face 21 years imprisonment. She however fell for
the latter.
