Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu has reportedly been denied entry into the thanksgiving ceremony held for fellow actors Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe’s triplets in Lagos.
The incident has generated reactions online after a video showing the actress at the venue’s entrance surfaced on social media.
The thanksgiving ceremony, held in Lagos on Wednesday, brought together several prominent figures from Nollywood, as well as friends, associates and members of the couple’s families.
However, the event was reportedly organised as a strictly invitation-only gathering, with guests required to meet specific entry conditions.

Regina Chukwu Reportedly Denied Entry
According to reports circulating online, Regina Chukwu arrived at the thanksgiving ceremony but was stopped by security personnel at the entrance.
Despite being a familiar face in the Nigerian entertainment industry, the actress was reportedly unable to gain access to the venue.
A video capturing the incident subsequently went viral, prompting social media users to speculate about what may have happened before Regina arrived at the event.
The circumstances surrounding the incident have not yet been fully explained by the actress.
Regina, however, has indicated that she intends to provide her own account of what happened.
Strict Rules at the Thanksgiving Ceremony
The thanksgiving ceremony was reportedly organised with strict security and access arrangements.
According to an announcement by the couple’s event planner, Omobolale Gold, attendance was strictly by invitation.
Guests were reportedly required to have an access card or wear the designated Aso Ebi before they could enter the venue.
The restrictions appeared to be part of the organisers’ efforts to control access to the private celebration and prevent uninvited guests from entering.
Such arrangements are common at high-profile Nigerian celebrity events, particularly celebrations involving popular personalities and their families.
What Happened at the Venue?
Details about Regina’s experience remain limited.
The viral footage appears to show the actress at the entrance while security personnel prevent her from entering the venue.
However, the video alone does not establish why the actress was stopped or whether there was a misunderstanding involving her invitation, access card or dress requirements.
Regina has not yet provided a detailed explanation of the circumstances.
Her decision to promise a “story time” has therefore increased curiosity among fans who are waiting to hear her side of the story.
Regina Promises to Tell Her Side
Following the spread of the video, Regina addressed the situation on Instagram.
The actress said she would explain what happened at the ceremony but appeared to initially focus attention on her appearance and glam team.
She wrote:
“I am coming with a story time on what happened yesterday but first let’s appreciate my glam team and their dedication.”
Her comment suggests that she intends to discuss the incident in greater detail.
Rather than immediately responding to speculation, Regina appeared to take a lighthearted approach while acknowledging that she had seen the online conversation surrounding the video.
Her Reaction to the Viral Video
Regina also used the Instagram post to praise the team responsible for her appearance at the event.
She added:
“You can say anything but y’all will admit I look really good yesterday. My glam didn’t come to play.”
The comment attracted attention from followers, with some fans praising her appearance and others urging her to explain what happened at the entrance.
Her playful response has also helped shift some of the attention from the embarrassing moment to her fashion and appearance.
Social Media Reactions
The incident has generated discussion among Nigerian entertainment followers, with different opinions emerging about what may have happened.
Some social media users believe the incident could have resulted from the event’s strict invitation policy, while others are waiting for Regina to explain whether there was a misunderstanding between her team and the organisers.
The fact that the event was reportedly restricted to invited guests means that being a celebrity did not necessarily guarantee access.
Until Regina shares more details, it remains unclear whether she was not on the guest list, lacked the required access card, had an issue with the Aso Ebi requirement or encountered another problem at the gate.
A Celebration for Lateef and Mo Bimpe
The thanksgiving ceremony was held as part of celebrations surrounding Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe’s triplets.
The couple’s growing family has attracted considerable attention from fans and colleagues in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The presence of several Nollywood stars at the ceremony reflected the couple’s strong relationships within the industry.
For now, attention has shifted to Regina Chukwu following the viral entrance video.
The actress has promised to give her own account of the incident, meaning fans may soon get more clarity about what happened at the venue.
Until then, the reason she was denied entry remains based on reports and social media footage rather than a full explanation from the actress or event organisers.
