The two Nollywood stars who were abducted last Friday at Ozalla, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State, have regained their freedom, our correspondent gathered Thursday.
The Actors Guild of Nigeria announced their release in a statement. Those that were abducted are Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Agbogidi.
The guild via its official Instagram page said the movie stars were released unhurt and in healthy conditions.
The release read, “This is to gladly inform the public that the kidnapped actors Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel Agbogidi have been released unhurt.
“The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ejezie Emeka Rollas, announced their release by the abductors who were touched by the spirit of God to set them free and unharmed.
“The president expressed our heartfelt appreciation to Nollywood industry and Nigerians at large for the support and prayers during the trying period.
“He urged members to be security conscious on and off film sets and always take precautionary measures on their personal security at all times.”
Recall that duo were kidnapped last Friday, July 29. Their abductors demanded $100,000 as ransom. Our correspondent could not confirm if any ransom was paid.
