Meanwhile, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has disowned the actress clearly stating that she is not a registered member. Akilapa who up until till a few days ago was a member of the Odunfa Caucus of the Association of Nigeria Theatre Practitioners (ANTP) has been banned from featuring in any movies.

‘As AGN, we screen all our members before registering them. So, we don’t have any AGN member with a questionable character. We learnt that Yetunde has spiritual problem and she’s not a thief. We are praying that God should deliver her’, Yakubu Mohammed, Secretary-General of the guild told reporters. Mohammed also added that the actress’ case might not be far from being spiritual.
