Sultry Nollywood actress and mother of one, Tonto Dikeh, has taken to her Instagram page to explain why she was not jailed in Dubai, the economic nerve centre of the United Arab Emirate.
Tontoh was involved in a scuffle some security operatives in that country in November last year, which resulted in her deportation.
The incident set tongues wagging and many suggested she might have been caught in a drug-related offence.
However, debunking the insinuation for the first time, Tonth disclosed on her Instagram on Sunday that the fuss was had nothing to do with drugs, otherwise she would have been jailed.
Tontoh said it took her this long to takl about the incident because she did not want to jeorpardise her relationship with the Dubai authorities since she has a home there.
According to the actress, a security guard had addressed inappropriately in Arabic language as a prostitute and she would have none of the insult.

She said: “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 prostitute, 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.
“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.”
