ACTRESS STELLA DAMASUS DENIES QUARREL WITH THE ABODERINS

Star actress,Stella Damasus has dissociated herself from any quarrel with the family of her late husband, Jaiye Aboderin over her absence at an event to kick off his fourth remembrance programme.

The event whick took place on Monday, December 5,2011,at the Oriental Hotel,Lagos,was part of the Aboderin’s plan to announce a yearly musical talent hunt show in honour of the late Jaiye,who until his death was a soulful musician.

In a recent chat with a Nigerian soft-sell magazine,Stella Damasus was quoted: “ I am really not in the mood to say anything about this issue because I feel it’s better I keep quiet about it.But I am not having any problem or going to join any issue with the family over anything.

I have kept quiet all the while because I respect Jaiye so much.I just want everything to rest and not be misquoted or misrepresented at any occasion.I hope everybody respects my decision”

On their part,the Aboderin family’s spokesman, Tunde Obe said” We have not staged any event to celebrate Jaiye.What happened at the Oriental Hotel was a press briefing to introduce a talent hunt show in honour of Jaiye.So,we invited the press and also invited Stella Damasus.But if she has decided not to come,we do not see anything wrong with that,because she has remarried and she has every right to do so because she is still young and got her life ahead of her.

So when the event proper comes up on December 16,we are going to invite her. She can, however, decide to come or not to come”

According to sources, Stella Damasus may also have absented herself from the event because she is now occupied with taking care of her mum, who recently underwent an eye surgery and this has affected her public appearance.

It would be recalled that in March 2009,the mother of two children, Stella got married to her second husband, Emeka Nzeribe and had since then been referred to as Stella Damasus Nzeribe.

AFTERMATH OF BABA SUWE SAGA:NDLEA DRILLS STELLA DAMASUS

This period is indeed a bad one for Nollywood actors and actresses as the men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) seem to have taken an unusual but targeted interest in them over their alleged drug related offences. First it was Babatunde Omidina popularly known as Baba Suwe and now it is Stella Damasus.

Last week Thursday,10 of November 2011,popular actress Stella Damasus was thoroughly drilled by men of the anti-drug agency over what was suspected to be an attempt by the fair complexioned actress to smuggle drugs suspected to be cocaine to Dubai.

According to our source,the actress was taken into the custody of the NDLEA where she was searched thoroughly in a very rigorous pattern involving series of scans being carried out on her before she was let loose by the men of the agency. Interesting is the fact that Stella Damasus was delayed by the Drug Law Enforcers to the extent that she even missed her flight to Dubai and had to travel on another flight after she had been released.

The actress later twitted” Today I regret being a Nollywood Star” on her Twitter account as friends and fans of the actress questioned her on what could have necessitated the comment. Efforts to reach the actress to comment on the issue proved abortive as at press time,as she was said to be enjoying her holiday in Dubai
