She said the report all began after she left Nigeria for the United Kingdom to fend for her children.
Sobowale said: “The worst of the rumours I heard about me was when they said Sola Sobowale had been killed in Saudi Arabia.
“That I carried cocaine.
“It was written here in Nigeria.
“That I was arrested in Saudi Arabia.
“That there, they amputated my leg and my hand.
“And I said to them that I am a star in Nigeria and that they should kill me.
“So when I got to Nigeria, at the airport, they said: ‘Sola Sobowale is dead.’
“I said, do you believe in abracadabra?
“I said I am alive.
“I have never been to Saudi Arabia.
“I don’t even know where it is on the map.
“So many negative things.
“But to God be the glory.
“God has compensated me.”
