Nollywood icons Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel Agbogidi have reportedly been abducted on their way back from a movie location.

The abduction of the actors who are also members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, was announced by the AGN’s Director of Communications, Monalisa Chinda, in a statement on Friday, July 29.

According to Monalisa, the families of the victims had confirmed their lack of return after filming in a location at Ozalla Town in Enugu State.

“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 outskirt of cities to film except full security cover is provided to

ensure their safety” the statement read.
