of two of her colleagues who are detained in the kidnapper’s den.
Meanwhile recall that in July 2022, Nollywood actors Clemson Cornel and Cynthia Okereke were abducted
as they were leaving a film set in Delta state
However on Monday, August 1, 2022, the movie star voiced worry
about the idea that Nollywood Actors were wealthy in a post released via her Instagram page.
