Exclusive: Jailed Zola Pimp Charged With Beating The Brakes Off Inmate

Akporode Uwedjojevwe Rearrested For Assaulting Prisoner; Accused Pimp Already Jailed On Sex Trafficking Charges

The alleged pimp at the center of the Zola Twitter tale has been accused of pummeling a fellow jailbird while locked up on sex trafficking charges.

Akporode Uwedjojevwe is facing a felony charge of “battery by a prisoner” after allegedly attacking another inmate in the Washoe County Jail in Reno, Nv.

In her story, Zola, whose Twitter tale of a road trip gone wrong went viral last week, refers to a pimp named “Z” who lured them into stripping and prostitution. Z, later ID’d as Uwedjojevwe, was arrested on felony sex trafficking charges about a month after Zola said they went their separate ways.

Uwedjojevwe had remained locked up ever since, and his trial was set to begin early next year. But in July, the 35-year-old beat the crap out of an inmate named Stephan Adams, 21, according to his criminal complaint. Adams is awaiting trial on burglary and gun possession.

Uwedjojevwe is due back in court next week for a hearing on the alleged beatdown.
