Nollywood actress, Peggy Ovire has expressed her frustration after apprehending a man named Chinonso, who had allegedly been repeatedly stealing on a movie set.

Sharing a video of herself interrogating the suspect via her Instagram page, Peggy Ovire warned her fellow filmmakers to steer clear of Chinonso, whom she labeled a serial thief.

The actress recounted the disturbing incidents involving the accused, revealing that he stole generator parts worth N80,000 on the first day and sold them for a mere 15,000.

She explained that he returned to the movie location and made off with a gas cylinder, but his luck ran out when he detached another gas cooker from its cylinder and flee with it.

Peggy expressed her astonishment at the audacity of the thief, especially considering that she had previously helped him financially during the movie production. She noted that it was evident the man was a habitual thief and warned that she would pursue legal action against him.

She wrote, “Dear FILM MAKERS, this post is for you all to Never employ this guy called Chinonso.
