Segun Arinze and Justus Esiri
News coming from London about two Nollywood icons,
Segun Arinze and Justus Esiri is not palatable as we
learnt that they were robbed in their London Hotel
located in Surrey, United Kingdom some days ago.
According to the gist yinkusblog gathered, the
ugly incident allegedly happened at Teavelodge in
Surrey, UK. The hotel had three keys shared among the
clientele, the hotel manager and the female Polish
cleaner who cleans the apartment.
The actors have been in London for a month now
staging a theatre tour including 'The king must dance
naked' and other stage plays. They have also been at
the Nigeria House, Royal Theatre, Stratford, London.
On that fateful day, the actors reportedly went for their
usual rehearsal. On their return, they noticed that their
belongings had been tampered with. After doing a
check, they discovered that some valuables have grown
wings and flew away.
Segun reportedly lost his Ipad while Justus Esiri was
unlucky as his international passport with various visas
in it, his travelling documents, laptop, monies and
several other valuables got missing.
Though the matter is said to have reported to the police,
but no arrest has been made yet. We also learnt that the
hotel had no CCTV cameras to capture the alleged
robbery footage.
However, on Justus Esiri's lost passport, the Nigeria
mission in the UK reportedly issued a new passport to
him on self-recognition. This, as were gathered, was
done based on his National Honours of Order of the
Niger (OON) award.
Segun, Justus and other cast including Olu Jacobs,
Joke Silva, Bimbo Akintola and others are expected
back in Nigeria on Monday, August 6, 2012.
