Former Big Brother Naija reality show contestant Daniella Peters narrowly avoided a kidnapping attempt in Abuja recently. She revealed details of the frightening incident in a video posted on her Instagram page, which quickly went viral last Thursday.
In the video, Daniella expressed gratitude to the public for their quick response to her distress call and reassured her fans that she is now safe. She said, “Hello everyone, I am making this video to address my last post concerning near kidnapping experience that I encountered last week Friday. I want to thank everyone who has shown concern by commenting, calling and tagging the necessary organisations to ensure that this matter was handled urgently.”
She also mentioned that she had taken steps to report the incident to the police and had received medical attention for her injuries. “I have been to the police station and back to the hospital. I thank the police for handling this matter thoroughly. As we speak the cab driver has confessed to everything I said.”
Captioning the video, she wrote, “I’m now safe and recovering. God bless you all. Be safe.”
Daniella recounted that she had hailed a cab but became suspicious of the driver’s behavior during the journey. When she requested the driver to stop, he refused to comply, prompting her to take drastic action. In her words, “The driver refused to stop upon my request.”
She then made a daring escape by jumping out of the moving vehicle, which resulted in injuries that she promptly sought medical treatment for.
