Popular Nigerian actress, Destiny Etiko has recalled her childhood struggles where she was raised in a humble home.

Speaking to Saturday Beats in an exclusive chat monitored by Kemi Filani news, Destiny Etiko revealed that her father was a headteacher in an educational institution and later moved to work as a treasure of a company where he was one day accused of theft.

She recounted that her dad was ordered to deposit money into a bank but whilst on his way to the bank, he was attacked by armed robbers and was forced to pay the money.

This incident according to her caused a massive shake in their finances as his father had to use all his savings to pay the money and they survived on their mother’s store.

In her words: “Growing up was not easy. My father was a headmaster doing well and at some point, he worked with a firm as a treasurer where he was accused of theft after the money he was asked to take to the bank was stolen by armed robbers who attacked him on his way. My father had to pay for money he never took. It was an issue as we had to move out from the flat we were living in to a ‘public’ house. My mother had stopped acting and we started living off the proceeds of the shop my father opened for her.”
