I was starved for seven days: Actress Okereke recounts ordeal with kidnappers
Veteran Nollywood actress, Cynthia Okereke, who was abducted alongside her colleague, Clemson Cornel Agbogidi, last week has given an account of her ordeal while in captivity.
It would be recalled that the actress and her colleague, Agbogidi were returning from a film shoot in Ozalla, Enugu on Friday, July 29, when they were abducted.
They were released a few days ago after some ransom was believed to have been paid to the kidnappers.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Okereke thanked everyone who prayed for her or show concern for her wellbeing including her fans, security agencies and colleagues.
The actress said they were not given food or water for the seven days they were in captivity.
“My people, this is mama Cynthia Okereke, God is a faithful God and I have every reason to say Hallelujah in the land of the living. I didn’t know I have people and I have friends, good colleagues, people that care for me, people that can pray for me, verge for me and stand on my behalf,” the actress said.
She added: “My BP is high but to God be all glory for all of you, your efforts, your prayers and your encouragement. Mama Cynthia is alive, I will act for you people and will continue to be acting for you people. Me, I will be a late comer there, for good one week, no water no food but today I say to God be all glory forever in Jesus name. God will bless all Nollywood for me.”
