Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu has reportedly been denied entry into the Thanksgiving ceremony held in honour of the triplets of actors Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe.
The ceremony, which took place in Lagos on Wednesday, attracted several notable personalities from the Nigerian entertainment industry, including Nollywood actors, friends, family members and associates of the celebrity couple.
However, the event reportedly took an unexpected turn when Regina Chukwu arrived at the venue but was allegedly stopped by security personnel at the entrance.
According to information released by the couple’s event planner, Omobolale Gold, the thanksgiving ceremony was strictly by invitation. Guests were required to present an access card or appear in the designated Aso Ebi before they could gain entry into the venue.
Despite being a familiar face in Nollywood, Regina was reportedly unable to gain access to the event.
A video showing the actress at the entrance circulated on social media, sparking reactions from fans and entertainment followers who questioned why the actress was prevented from attending the celebration.
The incident quickly became a talking point online, particularly because Regina Chukwu is a well-known figure in the Nigerian movie industry and has attended several celebrity events over the years.
Following the circulation of the video, Regina addressed the situation in an Instagram post on Thursday.
Rather than immediately explaining what happened at the venue, the actress teased her followers about an upcoming explanation, promising to share her side of the story.
She wrote: “I am coming with a story time on what happened yesterday, but first let’s appreciate my glam team and their dedication.”
Regina also used the opportunity to praise her appearance at the event, apparently refusing to allow the incident to overshadow her glam.

“You can say anything but y’all will admit I look really good yesterday. My glam didn’t come to play,” she added.
Her response has further fuelled curiosity among her followers, many of whom are now waiting for the actress to provide a detailed account of what allegedly happened between her and the security personnel.
The thanksgiving ceremony was organised to celebrate the arrival of Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe’s triplets, making it an important occasion for the couple and their families.
The actors have enjoyed significant public attention since announcing the birth of their children, with fans and colleagues across the entertainment industry celebrating the development.
The reported incident involving Regina has, however, added an unexpected layer of drama to the celebration.
The strict access policy at the event also highlights how celebrity gatherings increasingly rely on controlled guest lists, access cards and designated outfits to manage large crowds.
While the exact reason Regina was reportedly denied entry remains unclear, the actress has indicated that she will provide more details.
Her promise of a “story time” has generated anticipation among fans, particularly those who watched the viral footage of the incident.
For now, neither Lateef Adedimeji nor Mo Bimpe has publicly commented on the reported incident involving Regina Chukwu.
It also remains unclear whether the actress had been formally invited to the ceremony or whether there was a misunderstanding regarding the event’s access requirements.
As Nigerians continue to react to the development online, attention is now focused on Regina Chukwu’s promised explanation.
The actress’ decision to first highlight her appearance and glam team before discussing the controversy has also attracted humorous reactions from social media users.
For many fans, however, the major question remains why a prominent Nollywood personality was allegedly stopped at the gate of a celebration involving fellow members of the industry.
Until Regina shares her full account, the circumstances surrounding the reported denial of entry remain unclear.
