The menace of kidnapping in Nigeria has taken another surprising dimension as the initial attention focused on oil workers/expatriates and politicians for money making has now been shifted, as people in the entertainment industry are now considered as

The source through a phone call told huhuonline.com that Osuofia had earlier called to inform them that he has been kidnapped. He was kidnapped along Enugu-Port harcourt Express way.

The kidnappers are reported to have demanded 15 million Naira ransom from the family of Nkem Owoh. Details are still foggy as at press time, as every attempt to reach out to stakeholders in Nollywood about this ugly developments have proved abortive.It would be recalled that sometime Mid-August this year, another veteran Nigerian actor, Chief  

Pete Edochie was also kidnapped in a similar manner at Nkpor, a suburb in the commercial town of Onitsha (Anambra State) by armed abductors.

Huhuonline.com will keep the public informed as event unfolds.

Victor Chukwuemeka   |2009-11-11 06:00:01 waow, it sounds very funny and unbelievable for an entertainer like Osuofia to be kidnapped. this is an evidence of a highly demoralised Nigeria. This countr y if not properly redirected is heading for an enormous cataclysm. No matter wh at must have h appened, i believe his safety is quranteed in Jesu s Name. Amen, he must come out unhurt. i think th e Yar'adua Administration must intervene ov er this issue of kidnap which is equally encroaching into innocent civilians Reply 0 0

SammyBabbot  - What's wrong   |2009-11-11 12:35:04 The cowards that has done this should be very asha med of themselves. If they ar e really courageous, they should let him ( Osoufia) alone.
