Two Nigerian movie stars, Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel, have been reported missing.
This was disclosed on Friday in a statement issued by the Director of Communications, Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Monalisa Chinda.
According to the statement, families of the actors had raised the alarm over the whereabouts of the duo after a film production at Ozalla Town, Enugu State.
The current assumption, the AGN said, is that they have been abducted, given the spate of kidnappings in the past months.
“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 National President is shocked over this ugly incident and urged the security agencies to speed up investigations that would lead to their safe rescue.
“He equally appeals to all members to pray for the safe return of the thespians,” the statement added
