Popular Yoruba actress Regina Chukwu has shared a shocking ordeal she faced while lodging in the same hotel as veteran actor Akin Lewis after working together on a movie set.
In a video posted on Regina Chukwu TV on YouTube, the actress revealed that she was kidnapped from her hotel room by armed men who later released her after withdrawing all the money from her bank account.
According to Regina, she had been invited to a movie set where she was originally supposed to spend just a day. However, the producer insisted she stay overnight because Akin Lewis had to leave early the next morning. She reluctantly agreed and was taken to a hotel where she discovered that it was frequented by prostitutes. Feeling uncomfortable, she initially refused to stay but changed her mind after Akin Lewis pleaded with her out of respect for his seniority and reputation.
Regina described how, later that night, she began hearing noises from the prostitutes outside her room. Despite feeling uneasy, she decided to stay inside. However, just as she was about to sleep, kidnappers forcefully broke down her door, dragged her out, and drove her to an undisclosed location. They used her ATM card to withdraw all her money before letting her go with just ₦1,000 for transportation.
Her revelation has sparked concern among fans and industry colleagues, with many expressing shock and urging filmmakers to prioritize safety when arranging accommodations for actors.
