The boat was carrying Omotola Ekeinde Jolade, Teco Benson and other actors and crew members."When the thing happened, we were close to the American Embassy, and there was the fear the security operatives might mistake us as terrorists and want to do anything funny, but nothing of such happened or any harassment,” said Teco Benson."We stayed like 45mins on water before we were rescued. There was nothing much but for the ladies on the boat who were very fearful and thinking they might die in the Ocean. We thank God that nothing bad happened.
