According to a report in Vanguard, popular Nollywood actor, Gentle Jack a.k.a Vuga, would have been kidnapped yesterday alongside his colleague if not for the host communities where they visited for a movie shoot.

It was gathered that Gentle Jack and Jazzy Okey who left Enugu to a village along Abakaliki road where they’ve been shooting for the past one week, lost their way while getting to the set of the video shoot of an epic movie titled "The Dark Wind."

A source informed the publication that they actors have been the ones driving themselves to the location until they left last Sunday hoping it was the usual place of shoot till the unexpected happened when the director, Don Single called to inform them of location swap.

"With the whole intention that they will locate the current place of shoot, the director later called to inform them of some changes with location they had. Some minutes later, the crew got a call from the former host community that the two actors nearly got abducted by some unknown persons."

In a move to confirm the report, Jazzy Okey’s PR Specialist, Ugochukwu Favour-Mayor described it as a plot in the ongoing movie that is being shot in Enugu. Reducing tension created by the speculated report, he further urged the fans of the two Nollywood actors to expect a unique content from the movie, The Dark Wind.
