Ghanaian actress, Afuah Kumiwaa, has disclosed what led her to take a long hiatus from the movie scene after making a peak reach as one of the most patronised female actresses in the Kumawood industry,
According to her, she was lured by a fake contract by some men to shoot a movie in the United States of America (USA) in 2012.

Narrating her ordeal, the actress said when she touched down at the airport in the States, she was busted at the checkpoint for drug trafficking, an incident she had zero idea about.
“If it weren’t for God, I would have been in prison. Some boys took me to America for a movie and they hid cocaine in my bag. I didn’t know. At the checkpoint, they passed through clean but I was arrested. After pointing at them, they escaped and I was left to my fate.

“It was a difficult situation. I felt like dying. I was taken to court on countless occasions but the judge declared me innocent though some wanted me jailed. It has been four years since I returned,” she said in an interview on UTV.
She urged Ghanaians and her friends in the media to be careful when departing from the country for any reason.
