Just a day after Nollywood star actors, Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel, were reportedly kidnapped in Enugu, their captors have reached out to the victims families and demand $100,000 in ransom to secure their release.
Recall truthlive.net had on Thursday reported that the two actors went missing after their family members confirmed they didn’t return home from a film location at Ozalla Town, Enugu state.
On Saturday, the AGN national president, Emeka Rollas, told PREMIUM TIMES that the kidnappers are requesting a lump sum in dollars.
He said, “The kidnappers have made contact with the families and are demanding the sum of $100,000. We pray to God for his intervention and for Him to put confusion in their midst.
“We are also working closely with the different security operatives, but we are not sure what to expect from them because the same thing is happening everywhere in the country.”
Mr Rollas also said members of the Guild are working closely with the families of the victims and the security forces to ensure their safe release.
