How I Was Almost Jailed In Dubai – Tonto Dikeh
Tonto Dikeh says the incident had nothing to do with drugs

Nollywood star Tonto Dikeh has spoken about her encounter with security personnel in Dubai that almost landed her in prison.

In November last year, several reports that claimed that Tonto Dikeh had been arrested and deported from Dubai following a scuffle she had with security operatives.

Per a report from Gistmania, the mother of one revealed that she had a face-off with the Dubai authorities, not because of drugs but because a guard called her a ‘pro$t!tute’ in the Arabic language.

She stated that if she had been caught with drugs, she should be in jail now.

That incident in Dubai was not drugs because if it was I would be in jail. It had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol even.

On that day, I was insulted by one of the guards. He said something very derogatory to me in Arabic, I think Lebanon. It’s called Sharamuta which means pro$t!tute, it means a call girl and I was not so dressed.

But it was a show, so I had like a very amazing bra inside and this blazer on top. To them, it is Haram when you are not dressed properly. So that is where all of the altercation started. That was the only problem, any other information is just false.”

Tonto Dikeh clarified that she had not given details about the incident earlier because she has a home in the country and wouldn’t want to jeopardize her stay there.

I really don’t want to go into so much detail about Dubai because I have a home there now and I want to be able to enter freely after all of this and that is why I never really talked about it.”
