Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has been kidnapped. The veteran actor was kidnapped less than three hours ago on his way to an event in Anambra State.

Speaking in a telephone interview with NEXT, the actor's son, Uche Edochie confirmed that the actor was being driven from his country home in Enugu in the company of his family when armed men stopped the car he was travelling in.

Only Mr. Edochie was kidnapped.

Uche Edochie disclosed that though the incident was obviously financially-motivated and one of many in a string of recent kidnappings of influential Nigerians, the kidnappers were yet to get in touch with the family, much less demand a ransom.

Sounding very upset, the younger Mr. Edochie said; "our family is still in shock, and making attempts to the police; there is no handbook on what to do when your father is kidnapped."

Let him speak big connotations and proverbs until he is relased.


" When the iroko tree is kidnapped the leaves and the branches will suffer the consequences"

This kidnappers need to be slaughtered.

Our population is already too high and still exploding, and these kidnappers are voluntarily making themselves candidates to remove from that population figure.

asha 80:

is he the first person to be kidnapped

What a statement!

asha 80:

is he the first person to be kidnapped

and what do you mean by that statement?

If the kidnappers watch nollywood movies they will never harm him. so he should simply refuse their ransom. period!!!

asha 80:

is he the first person to be kidnapped

LOL true my guys got kidnapped in abia and another in anambra LMFAO they'll let him go no biggie

sjeezy8:

stop joking. for all we know he can be being used for rituals because some people might think he will bring them great fortune.
for all we know he is probably not safe, this is not a laughing matter.

i feel for Rita Edochie, her brother-in-law being kidnapped.
thank God her husband was released though.

everyone pray,

What i meant by that statement is this kidnapping thing has been going on for sometime and some notable people (ABC transports wife,Pokobros) have suffered from this nonsense.I just feel that publicity given to this story is a bit high but nevertheless it is an an extremely bad situation.

However i do not think it will stop.

this asha dude no get sense I swear,

eina:

babapupa:
