Uche Jombo Facilitates Van Vicker's Release From SSS Detention



What can best be described as a scene from a Nollywood movie, was when screen diva Uche Jombo recently saved Ghanaian actor Van Vicker from a real-life detention in the hands of the Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS).



Confirmed sources revealed to Bola Aduwo that Van was in Nigeria a couple of days ago. Apparently he had some prop guns from America which he planned to use in 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 it 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 BBed his situation to her and described where he was. Unfortunately for him because of the noise at the event and her low battery power, Uche did not see the messages till the following morning! When she did, Uche quickly sprung into action and began to pull strings! Van was later released but without his prop guns.
