Genevieve was the first actor to win the Africa Movie Academy Award in a leading role in 2005.

Dr Penking, on his twitter handle @drpenking, said that it was unusual, adding that "someone should please check on her. No one is above mental breakdown."

Also, Mr Francis Awuche, a resident, called on the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to reach out to the actress to ascertain the situation of things with her.

He said that for her to take such a drastic action suggested that there was something amiss, which must be unravelled.
