Former Big Brother Naija reality show star Daniella Peters has narrowly avoided a kidnapping attempt while in Abuja. The shocking incident was revealed in a video she shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, quickly gaining widespread attention.
In the video, Daniella expressed her gratitude to the public for their swift response to her call for help. She reassured her fans and followers that she is now safe.
“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.
“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.”
In her video caption, she added, “I’m now safe and recovering. God bless you all. Be safe.”
Daniella detailed the harrowing experience, explaining that she had booked a cab for her trip. During the ride, she became increasingly suspicious of the driver’s behavior. When she asked the driver to stop, he refused, raising her alarm further.
Fearing for her safety, Daniella took the brave decision to jump out of the moving vehicle. Although she sustained injuries from the fall, she managed to escape what could have been a tragic outcome. Daniella has since received medical treatment for her injuries and is on the road to recovery.
The police have been actively involved in the investigation. According to Daniella, the cab driver has confessed to the crime, confirming her account of the events.
