Nigerian cinematographer, Joel Benson
has been reportedly kidnapped at his home in Mowe Ibafo, Ogun State.
Reports claim that Joel, a 35-year-old
member of an acapella gospel group 6 Team, was a victim of robbery and
kidnap in the presence of his family on Sunday, July 10.
‘They came in through the window.
They took our telephones, laptops and iPad. They took some money but
I don’t know how much they took. When they came in demanding for
all these things, we thought they were armed robbers,’ his wife,
Ego told The Guardian.
Ego claims the abductors have made
contact with Joel’s family, with the cinematographer revealing he
is being held for a ransom of N50 million before he can be released.
‘They later asked to know who the man
of the house was. My husband identified himself and they took him
away. He was crying on the phone when I spoke with him. He told me to
call anyone I knew to raise the money. They called in the morning and
they also called at 2:20p.m. yesterday, demanding for N50 million
