Barely one week after the kidnap of Prof. Kanene Okonjo, mother of Nigeria’s Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, another kidnap case is being reported in Imo State. Kidnappers in Owerri, the State capital, have reportedly abducted Nkiru Sylvanus, an actress and a special assistant on public relations to the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha.
Sources at the Imo state government house told SaharaReporters that Ms. Sylvanus was in the company of three others when she was snatched and driven away around 8:30 PM on Saturday. She was reportedly abducted close to the famous Concord Hotel, Owerri.
It was learnt that the abductors have established contact with her family and have demanded a ransom of N100 million for her release. However, other sources say the ransom was demanded from the state government.
The governor’s aide was reported to have been taping an episode of a public relation’s show, “Inside Imo” which was expected to air on national television, when she was taken away in Owerri.
The police and other security agencies in the state have begun a search for the lady.
We pray she is found and in good health and is reunited with her family soon.
This is crazy!!! God protect her 🙁
Nigeria, kidnap haven of the world. Christmas is here again & the ‘Get-Rich-Or-Die-Trying’ ones are at it as always. Our police really have a lot of work to do. Their intelligence unit is more or less non-existent. The earlier we stop paying ransoms to kidnappers & rounding them up intelligently, the better for us. Hope she’s not only found unscathed, but the culprits identified & prosecuted.
I say my humble prayer for her! *sad*

This madness of kidnaper should be put to an end by our governments-Local,state & Federal befor it turns cancer in our nation. I think our institutions be more checked of cult activities AND I pray she is not rough handled by d devils.

I pray she b reunited wit her family…..God will protect her and change d minds of her abducters…..amen

Militancy in the Niger delta, terrorism inthe North, Kidnapping in the west&east… That’s the vision of the present politicians, their legacy. Nigeria is crippled, government isn’t working… A country where above half of its Police force secures the rich and the privileged leaving millions of ordinary citizens on their own. http://www.brandigest.wordpress.com

May God be with her.

God will deliver her,cos she is a very good actress.
I pray nothing happens to her cos she in my best actress
It is well in Jesus name amen.
It is well in Jesus name amen.I pray God should bring Nigeria out of bondage.
Kidnapping like many ills in Nigeria is a dividend of past and ongoing corruption. When the political elite begin to address the needs of the masses instead of stealing public funds, then kidnapping and many ills will either disappear or be drastically reduced.
NKIRU SYLVERNUS… I LOVE YOU, PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOURSELF.THANK YOU.
Kidnapping was the business of the day at some point , but that trend is gradually changing
