June 01, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actor, Akah Nnani, has stated that the Lagos State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, should have kept sealed lips about the N100 million ransom paid to secure the release of the Methodist Church prelate, Samuel Kanu-Uche.
He made this known while reacting to the video posted on Punch Instagram page.
This was after the Lagos State CAN chairman, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, spoke about the ransom in a press conference on Tuesday.
The actor stated, “Good, so you have told kidnappers that this is good business. Well done.”
He made further clarification, “I am talking about CAN being comfortable sharing the news. Not everything should be public consumption. I don’t think it is a good thing to negotiate with kidnappers. Our state of security is so horrible.
“So if it comes to that, keep quiet so as not to encourage more incidents. They shouldn’t be shared. Plus this is CAN. But If it were a poor Christian, they will say pray. Prelate now, they paid N100 million ransom.”
Recall that the prelate was abducted on Sunday evening, alongside the Methodist Bishop of Owerri, Rt Rev Dennis Mark and his chaplain.
