Nkem Owoh Freed by kidnappers

After a week in the dungeon of the captors, the Nollywood ace Comedian Nkem Owoh (Osuofia) has finally regained his freedom. The family declined to make any comment whether any ransom was given to the kidnappers. But a source confirmed that a sum of N1.4 million was doled out to the kidnappers in exchange for his release. It was further gathered that the criminal elements however, failed to release the actor‘s car until the balance of N100,000 is finally paid to them. Huhuonline.com gathered that the family members pleaded with the abductors to release Osuofia’s car, but the plea was seen as effort in futility. Initially the faceless captors demanded N15m ransom, this was negotiated to N2 million, and after several plea again since the family could not meet up, it was eventually cut down to N1.5 Million, but the family members who are under panic measure could only raise N1.4m. President of the Actors Guild Mr. Segun Arinse confirmed this reports, affirming that Nkem Owoh is hail and hearty and he is in good health, maintaining that there is no course for alarm. He implores the security operative to heighten their security in ensuring that freedom to life and movement in Nigeria are ultimately guaranteed. A source on account of anonymity said this is the best time for the Police and other security agents in the country to nab these criminal elements since they still have the (defenseless) actor’s car vehicle in their possession.
