Actress Regina Chukwu recounted her worst regret while working on a film set Recalling a tragic event that happened during her hotel stay five years ago,
Chukwu disclosed that she was staying at the hotel with actor Akin Lewis in a video that was uploaded on her YouTube page.
Despite having reservations about the hotel’s reputation, she was persuaded by Lewis to stay, saying that the decision led her to a harrowing encounter with armed robbers.
Chukwu described how the robbers broke into her room, abducted her, and stole money from her using her ATM card.
She said the experience remains a painful memory for the actress.
She said: “I was on a particular set about five years ago. And after we finished shooting at 1:00 am. I was lodged alongside actor Akin Lewis in one hotel at Ayilara Street. I was supposed to spend a day on that set, but the producer insisted that I should spend the night because Akin Lewis has to leave early in the morning.
“When we got to the hotel, I discovered that it was full of prostitutes, so I told them that I wasn’t going to lodge in the hotel. But Akin Lewis pleaded with me to stay, so I had to respect him because of his personality and age, but listening to his plea was my biggest regret.
“Just when I was undressing myself to sleep, some armed robbers broke the door and took me away to a place where they withdrew all the money in my account with my ATM card”.
