Nkem Owoh Kidnapped
Posted on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 8:20 AMBy BellaNaija.com
Yesterday, Segun Arinze, President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria announced that Nkem Owoh has been kidnapped. Mr. Owoh is one of the top Nollywood actors mainly due to his role in the blockbuster movie ‘Osuofia’. He was kidnapped along the Enugu – PortHarcourt Expressway and his kidnappers have reportedly demanded a 15 million naira ransom.
This is truly a disappointing development. Just a few months ago, another veteren Nigerian actor, Pete Edochie was kidnapped and subsequently released.
We pray Nkem Owoh is released unharmed soon.

OMG wats wrong with nigerians.I pray he comes out alive.
hmmmm,its disheartening!
Chai, and it’ll probably be someone he knows that set him up ooo. Greedy people. May God protect him and return him unscathed.
hehehehe… Wat’s wit kidnapping actors 4 Christ’s sakes? At least d guy’ll make dem Laff till he’s released.
May God protect him & bring him out alive.
Why are they kidnapping these innocent & hard working Nigerians. Pls you kidnapers, I’ll highly appreciate it if you can kidnap the Imo state governor and all members of his family because he is a disgrace to the state. he is from isiala mbano but all the roads in mbano are patetic not to talk of owerri the capital. All he is doing is accumulating wealth for himself, what a shame.
Bella, this is plagiarism! Why not mention the newspaper you got it from e.g. NEXT? I don’t think you are a qualified journalist. It is unprofessional although the internet is not regulated.
Bella, this is plagiarism!
What is wrong with these people? Can’t Africa move forwards?? Why are they seeing kidnapping top stars as a means to make money? I am utterly disgusted and incredibly saddened. I hope he is found safe and sound.
this is disappointing! why not kidnap a bank CEO?
soon chicken,dogs,goats of the popular n rich will be kidnapped,these militants r just lazy,stupid set of people,may God bring him out alive.
We take accusations of plaigarism very seriously.
That is why we will respond.
The AGN released a statement and formally announced this yesterday and all news sources who were interested had access to the information. In terms of the reference to the Pete Edochie incident, it does not take a Pulitzer Prize to note that it is relevant to reference an extremely similar recent incident. If Bella Naija gets information from a source, we state so clearly.
I don’t agree with you Bella. You should have written it differently because it looked as if you just copied Modern Ghana or NEXT. Modern Ghana published its version before NEXT. NEXT did not put a by-line so you should not have written by Bella.
If I were you. I would have written the same story in a totally different way, that’s all. Read the three short articles including yours and still insist that you were right?
Aluta that was very rude and crude of you..If you wanted to state that it was plagarism why not do so must you say she is not qualified n all that unnecessary stuff?…she deserves an apology!
on this though, I totally agree that these kidnappers are just lazy people and to you who said why not kidnap a bank CEO are you saying you support kidnapping?
Just love the way she responded to you. Bella you are the new breed of Nigerians we need. So because Next is online first, you think the own they story? They are getting jealous of all the attention a young girl with a simple blog is getting worldwide
It is better for south east governors do somethings about these kidnaping thing, becos if other states in nigeria leave their state to be turn in to state of kidnap nobody we stay in nigeria. nonses
Plsssssssssssssssssssssssss… if you dnt have any comment to make.. then close the website!!!
God bless you Bella.. This website gives me an exciting break from work.
I pray Nkem Owoh comes out save. I’m sure he will crack them up and they will release him. AMEN!!
Why this nonesense, the poor man should be left alone, these kidnappers are very stupid and bunch of fools, they should go after the politicians that have stolen our money rather than the actors and actresses.
God bless you, Bella!
they are not militants they are just jobless people with no fear for life terrorizing people. May God protect us from them.
Someone was kidnapped and you’re here talking about how she should right. You never start.
Ehm, if that’s the case, Anambra government should be kidnapped first, they’re the biggest disgrace in the whole South East… but we all know why they won’t get kidnapped. Nothing happens like this without the knowledge (most times the sanction) of these greedy bastards called government officials.
Ini, the source was sited in the line “Segun Arinze, President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria announced…” There was an “Announcement”, and that is how Next, Ghana, Bella and others got the information. Ini hmmm, does everyone with that name have… never mind.
Please leave the poor man alone o.
He has no dollar to cough out ooo.
Those things you see on films are make belief…. Just acting
Someone was kidnapped silly! What if it was your brother won’t you want as many websites talking about it? Plagiarism or not?
naija has always been full of crap. imagine there are herbals and evildoer yall dnt kidnap but people who are rolemodel are the target shame on whoever is behinde such crime.
Kidnapping Nkem Owoh is a sacrilage. These kidnappers will turn to kidnap themselves one day. May they never laugh in their lives again. If kidnapping has got to Nkem Owoh, then the story has finished because he will act a movie with them in the junggle. Good enough, he does not have money to give them . Infact, their trap just caught a monitor lizard.
Hahahahahaha! U are real funny!
Can you just Imagine….ah ah nawa for some people’s priorities….
As if Nkem is worrying about how Bella presented the story KMT…..
Well i think this kidnappers are useless, instead of them to go for politician, that are taking our money for themselves, they are kiddnapping a role model, its really a shame to the govt and the people behind this, i just hope and pray that he come out safely
militants = jobless people…….at least for the most part. These ones in the Nkem’s case are just a bunch of bloody nicumpoos!
It is a huge shame.In fact it is a disaster. There is absolutely no reason for kidnapping Nkem Owoh. He works hard for his money. God will keep him safe
i know….hissss i dont know what runs thru some people’s minds… ini did you still not get the info that bella released or due to it being copied has it lost its meaning… like i dont understand im tryin so hard not to diss you silly… hissss
lmao… i was so temted to diss the child…
go for politicians,and leave him alone as he will be a pain in ur camp,he has all it takes to make u 4get ur self till he leaves or maybe u need him to make a joke for the sum of 15million b4 ………….going home
Na wa for Nigerian o
Eh ya, God please help us in this country.
He should make them laugh, I’m sure they will release him.
@ Ini and Aluta; Na wa for you people o – yeye people! tsshhh..
I pray this man is released soon. the people that have him will not know peace till they let this man go, there will be confusion in their camp until they let him go. Let them not let me call 10 plagues upon them and their household sef…
some time back, kidnapping was only heard off in the western world, it seems Africa has caught up pretty fast….too sad, i love the humor of Nkem Owoh!
I pray that he will return save to his family. People are so money hungry, hey don’t want to work, all they want is to hurt others for their money. My prays is with his family and i know he will return home save.
oh no! Even here in Cameroon, we would prefer that someone else be harmed and Nkem spared. and to think that such usesless men as those behind this act may not understand the worth of the man they are holding!! I swear that if a hair is touched on Nkem’s head, i shall personally get behind those guys, then the world would know me for the first time!
you have just a day to leave that man alone before you know who i am!
these guys are joking- kidnapping nkem- we no agree yo! we shall pray and God will answer our prayers… AMEN.
