Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,

Mr. Emeka Rollas, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, has broken another shell on the alleged abduction of some actors working with the movie industry of Nollywood.

Recall our earlier update that a statement has it that Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornell (Agbogidi) were suspected to have been kidnapped.

This statement is issued by Monalisa Chinda-Coker, the Director of Communications of the AGN.

The statement reads in part: “THE TWO MEMBERS WERE SUSPECTED OF HAVING BEEN KIDNAPPED, WHICH HAS INCREASED FEAR AMONGST MEMBERS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ACTORS FILMING IN THE COUNTRY.

“BECAUSE OF THIS SAD DEVELOPMENT, THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE GUILD, EJEZIE EMEKA ROLLAS, HAS INSTRUCTED ALL ACTORS TO AVOID GOING TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF CITIES TO FILM EXCEPT FULL SECURITY COVER IS PROVIDED TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY.”

BUT, speaking with Track News Nigeria on Saturday, Rollas explained that the condition of the missing persons had not been confirmed yet.

He added that all the money in Okereke’s account had been cleared.

In his words: “we have not confirmed the kidnap as it were. the only thing we know is that all the money in cynthia okereke’s account was cleared this morning (friday).

“we are expecting to get a kind of signal from the people holding them hostage to know whether it is a kidnapping or not.”
