Fiberisima, the Industriy is calling on the State and Federal Government
to come to the aid of the actress.

to it. It’s unfortunate that people can do things like this to people
who make them happy‘, the AGN President lamented.

DailyPost condemned the act, calling on Jonathan and his cabinet to do
something about the increase rate of kidnapping in the country.
He said: “This nonsense must stop, why must kidnappers feast on
Nollywood? Are we politicians? First, it was Nkem Owoh, Pete Edochie,
John Okafor’s family, now it is Nkiru Sylvanus, enough of this rubbish.
The federal government should do something about this because we are not
on salary anywhere.” The bearded actor said.
