Popular actor, Adekola Tijani, may not immediately ring a bell to many followers of Yoruba speaking movies, but names like Golugo, Kamilu Kompo, Jonathan immediately draw their attention.


You were said to have been detained in Amsterdam recently. What exactly happened at the airport?
I have not told anybody the experience, because it was not as big as many people had feared. When I got to the airport, I was accosted by an interpol officer who insisted that he must see what I had in my luggage. I told them I was an actor and gave them the jacket of some of my movies to prove I was one, but they said they needed something more than that to prove I was not coming into their country for another mission. I asked them to Google my name and they searched for it. When they got it, they were the ones that took me to where I was going to board another flight to my destination, because we only had a stopover in Amsterdam.

But it was reported that you were delayed for more than a day, is that true?
