Nollywood actor Uche Odoputa was arrested in 2007 by the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency for trafficking drugs and was jailed for two years and three weeks.

The movie producer and director in a recent interview with BroadWay Africa TV spoke about his life before the incident, his regrets and his plans for the future.

He says he took the offer because he thought he could change his living conditions when he wasn’t getting any substantial movie roles, and when he could not afford to feed or house himself and his family.

He also mentioned that although his colleagues abandoned him then for obvious reasons, he doesn’t hold it against them as it was a time for him to learn a lesson.

Meanwhile, his major regret was letting his family down and letting his London friends take advantage of his situation by talking him into the act.
