Justus Esiri a veteran actor, got more than he bargained for on his recent trip to the United Kingdom. He was there as part of a performing crew of Wole Soyinka’s play, The Lion and the Jewel. Other Nigerian acts in attendance were Olu and Joke Jacob, Keppy Ekpeyong, Bimbo Akintola, Segun Arinze and a host of others.
While he was out on rehearsal, his room in the hotel, where he lodged in Surrey, was burgled and Esiri lost his passport, other travelling documents, laptop, cash and several valuables. Although the incident was reported to the police, no arrest has been made so far but a forensic search of the place was carried out. Unfortunately, the hotel has no CCTV camera.
However, to save him from being stranded, the Nigerian mission in the UK has issued him a new passport on self-recognition, being a national honour awardee
