Wema Sepetu finally released on bail

A court in Dar es Salaam has released on bail former Miss Tanzania and Bongo movie actress, Wema Isack Sepetu (28), along with two others, who were charged with offences related to drug ­trafficking.

The trio are alleged to have been found with 1.08 grams of narcotic drugs in the form of marijuana.

Hundreds of people including Wema supporters were gathered in the Kisutu court grounds when the accused arrived at around 11 am under a close police escort, and were directly arraigned before resident magistrate Thomas Simba.

Prosecutors claimed that on February 4 this year, a police search yielded the marijuana cache in Wema’s residential house in Kunduchi, Kinondoni District. The accused all denied the charges, and magistrate Simba granted them bail on condition of having two sureties and a bond worth Tshs 5M.

The case will be mentioned again on February 22.

Wema was detained by police last Friday after being summoned by Dar es Salaam regional commissioner Paul Makonda over allegations of being involved in a narcotic drugs trade.
