“The kidnappers have made contact with the families and are demanding the sum of $100,000. We pray to God for his intervention and for Him to put confusion in their midst.

“We are also working closely with the different security operatives, but we are not sure what to expect from them because the same thing is happening everywhere in the country,” he disclosed.

Mr Rollas also added that members of the Actors Guild were working closely with the families of the victims and the security forces to ensure their safe release.

In a Punch newspaper interview published on July 30, 2022, Mr Rollas said, ‘‘the kidnappers cleared the monies in Cynthia Okereke’s account this morning’’.
