#SAVEDNATWINS: BLAIR AND CLINTON ROBERTS FROM GLO X FACTOR REPORTEDLY KIDNAPPED WITH N10 MILLION RANSOM DEMANDED. 

20-year old twins Blaire and Clinton Roberts were on their way to Lagos from Abuja after spending some time with their mother. Barely two hours into their journey, the vehicle which they boarded was attacked by unknown gunmen who robbed the passengers before taking the twins away.

 

According to reports the men who attacked them were dressed in army uniforms and the passengers thought their bus was stopped as part of  “checkpoint procedures”. The robbers went on to hit the driver, shoot the bus’ windscreen before they ordered all passengers to alight.

 

They were allowed to return to the bus after they were stripped of their valuables. It was not until then that they discovered that the twins did not return, and they have not been seen or heard from since then.

 

According to reports, the kidnappers have since called their father on the phone and made demands for a N6million ransom, which was later increased to N10million with threats to kill the boys if the ransom is not paid today.

 

The twins are a singing duo called DNA Twins and were contestants on Glo X Factor Season 2. They are also currently competing in “The Voice Nigeria”.

 

Artistes like M.I (who was a judge on the show), Dice Ailes among others have come out to plead for information needed for their safe return.

Their elder brother, Quincy first raised the alarm via Twitter.
