“About three years ago. Just recently in 2020 right after Covid. It was during covid that I decided to sit down and assess because management was family so I trusted hundred percent and they’d been with me for long,” she shared.

According to Nikki, it wasn’t the case of an over sight, but “pure theft” adding that “even the documents they handed to me were fake. It was that bad, I was too sad and it took the grace of God for my recovery, it was that bad.”

The award-winning actress and UNHCR ambassador shares that the said family member is nowhere to be found till date.

“Till today I don’t even know where he is. It wasn’t a one time theft, it was overtime…couple of investments I made were all fake,” she added.

A teary Nikki stated that the situation left her hurt and pained as years of her hardwork was nowhere to be accounted for.

“Your’e in your 30s, you know you’ve worked hard and you want to settle and there’s nothing….I had suicidal thoughts,” she tearfully narrated.
