The state security service (SSS) today in Abuja paraded the kidnappers of nollywood actress and special assistant to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Nkiru Sylvanus. Surprisingly a physically challenged young man was an accomplice in the dastardly act. Nkiru Sylvanus was kidnapped in Owerri, Imo state close to Concorde hotel on December 15, 2012. She regained her freedom from captivity after few days. She was on her official assignment recording public relations video the day she was abducted. She was serving the state government in Lagos Liaison office before redeployment to state capital.

Nigerian kidnappers have targeted high net worth individuals who they abduct to make some quick money. They usually release them after some time probably after receiving the ransom. Kidnapping in Nigeria started in the Niger Delta where oil workers were essentially the targets but later the crime spread to other states and the targets has since shifted from oil workers to rich Nigerians who can pay ransom. Nkiru's experience happened a week after the mother of Nigerian Finance minster was abducted in her family house in Ogwasi uku, Delta state.
