Popular TV presenter and Nollywood actor, Uti Nwachukwu has shared his reaction to the arrest of Funke Akindele.

Uti revealed that her case has taught him that people who hail you all the time can also ask for you to be punished after making a mistake.

According to him, Lagos state government should just impose a fine on the actress and release her.

He added that this must be a lesson for her not to fall for the praises from deceitful people anytime soon.
