Actress Regina Chukwu has opened up about one of the most heartbreaking moments in her life—when her late husband begged her to help end his life due to unbearable pain caused by his illness.

Regina shared the emotional story in a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Regina Chukwu TV.

Regina revealed that as her husband’s health deteriorated, she decided to take him to his hometown. According to her, the sight of him shocked his family, who then invited both pastors and herbalists to try different forms of treatment.

“When my husband’s sickness got worse, I decided to take him to his village, and when his family saw him, they couldn’t believe how badly the sickness had affected him. His parents invited pastors and herbalists to give him some treatment,” she said.

She added that after two months in the village, her mother visited and shared a dream she had about the couple, giving Regina some money before leaving.

Shortly after, her husband made a request.

“My husband begged me to find him a doctor that will inject him with poison so that he could die. He said the pain was too much for him to bear and that he couldn’t endure it any longer.”

Regina Chukwu lost her husband in 2003, just four years into their marriage.

The union produced two children—a son and a daughter—whom she raised as a single mother.
