In 2014 after she was arrested for burglary and stealing, she said he needed prayers to overcome the spiritual attack on her.

“I am not a thief. I didn’t steal anything. I don’t know what is happening to me. I have every reason to believe my problem is spiritual.

“I can’t even explain the circumstance I found myself. I am fed up with life. I am not what people think I am. God please help me out of this mess.”

“As I am speaking with you now, I am in Ibadan, Oyo State, seeking the face of God and I believe I would get out of this dilemma one day. I am not a kleptomaniac.”

She was also arrested for robbery by police in Alade, Somolu, Lagos, in February 2013. She was sent to Kirikiri prison and, after a few months, was released in November 2013.

In November 2015, Akilapa allegedly burgled the residence of Oyinlol Tuga on Ayodele Okeowo street, Gbagada and tried carting away valuables when she was nabbed in the act.

Akilapa burst unto the scene in 2013 when she appeared in the Yoruba movie, “ Ileri-Oluwa’’, which shot her to fame
