Some Nigerians have criticized
Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda, for exposing her kidnapped colleagues,
Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel to danger.
It was earlier reports
that the kidnappers of the two veteran actors demanded a ransom of a hundred
thousand dollars.
The Director of Communications
of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Monalisa, in a post shared on Instagram,
said she doesn’t understand why people would think, that Nollywood actors have
money, considering the little amount of money of fees they receive.
While expressing shock at the
$100k, demanded by the kidnappers, Monalisa added that the numbers used to
communicate with the actors in captivity can easily be traced.
She wrote: “I don’t understand
how people would think that Actors have money… with the paltry sum we receive
as fees? The struggle through life vicissitudes, health issues etc we face
every now n then??? $100k from where? The numbers that was used to communicate
with them can easily be traced… I mean… The search is on
@actorsguildofnigeria Let’s keep reposting please”
The social media post from
Monalisa, generated outrage online as some netizens accused her for exposing
the actors to danger.
Some people claimed that the
kidnappers could get a hint about her social media post.

for them been in silent…. Remember those kidnappers are also on social media.
