We reported recently that two Nollywood actors, Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel, were kidnapped in Enugu State. Cheery news from the state revealed that the two actors had been released.

The Actors Guild of Nigeria confirmed the release of the actors in a statement signed by its Director of Communication, Monalisa Chinda Coker.

She said the kidnappers released the actors because they were “touched by the spirit of God.”

The Guild urged actors to ensure that adequate security was in place while on movie sets.

The statement reads partly: “This is to inform the public that the kidnapped actors, Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel, have been released, unhurt. The elated National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ejezie Rollas, announced their release by the abductors who were touched by spirit of God to set them free and unharmed.

“The Guild has arranged for medical checks and psychological support for the victims.

“He urged members to be security conscious on and off movie sets and always take precautionary measures on their security at all times.”

Recall that the two actors were abducted last week in Enugu State, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of $100,000.
