Abducted Nollywood actors regain freedom

The abducted Nollywood actors, Clemson Cornel, well known as Agbogidi, and Cynthia Okereke, have regained freedom.

The release of the victims was disclosed via a statement issued on Wednesday by the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Rollas Ejezie.

Ejezie said the abducted Nollywood actors were released by their abductors unhurt.

The AGN on July 29 announced the abduction of the duo after family members confirmed they had not come back from a film location at Ozalla town in Enugu State.

He stated: “They were released by their abductors who were touched by the spirit of God to set them free and unharmed.

“The guild has arranged for medical check-up and psychological support for the victims.

“On behalf of their families, we express our heartfelt appreciation to Nollywood industry and Nigerians at large for the support and prayers during the trying period.”

Ejezie urged AGN members to be security conscious on and off film sets and always take precautionary measures on their personal security at all times.

57-year-old Okereke is a famous television personality, entrepreneur, and philanthropist; while Agbogidi is a veteran actor, movie producer, and writer famous for his native doctor and chief priest roles in movies.
