Good news reaching us is that Nollywood actress, Nkiru
Sylvanus and former Mr Nigeria, Kenneth Okolie who
were kidnapped on Saturday in Owerri have been released by their captors.
Nkiru, who is also a special assistant on public relations to the Imo State governor,
Rochas Okorocha and Kenneth were kidnapped at a place where they were taping an
episode of a public relation’s show, “Inside Imo” somewhere close to the famous
Concord Hotel, Owerri. Vanguard reports that they were released on Thursday
night.
After their kidnap, there were reports that the kidnappers
demanded N100 million ransom for Nkiru’s release. But barely hours after an
open letter was written to the IG of Police on the matter by concerned friends
of the kidnap victims, they were released.
It was reported that the kidnappers blindfolded them and
dropped them off at an unknown location where they were able to call friends to
come pick them up. It is however uncertain if any ransom was paid.
We are glad they are out of their kidnappers custody and now
reunited with family and friend
