Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu has shared a harrowing experience of being kidnapped from a hotel where she was lodged alongside veteran actor Akin Lewis.
In a video posted on her official YouTube channel, Regina Chukwu TV, the actress revealed that she had been invited to a movie set and was expected to stay overnight. Despite her initial reluctance to lodge at the hotel, she agreed after Akin Lewis persuaded her.
According to Chukwu, she became uncomfortable upon discovering that the hotel was frequented by prostitutes. However, she chose to stay out of respect for Lewis. Later that night, while preparing to sleep, unknown gunmen forcefully broke down her door and abducted her.
“They took me in a car and drove me to an unknown location. They withdrew all the money from my ATM card and only gave me one thousand naira for transportation before setting me free,” she recounted.
The actress expressed deep regret over her decision to stay at the hotel and urged others to be cautious when accepting accommodations during film productions.
