Nollywood diva Uche Jumbo recently saved the life of Ghanaian actor Van Vicker from the hands of SSS.
Van Vicker who was in Nigeria briefly for a movie shoot was identified with prop guns by the State Security Service (SSS).
The star said he had reached a point in his career where he felt he needed items to look as real as possible in his movies.
Some sources revealed how and what went down to Bola Aduwo of Nollywooduncut, After Van Vicker had passed all security checks, he entered the plane and while in the plane his attention was called 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.
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 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 sprang into action and began to pull strings,Van was later released but without his prop guns.
