Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star Daniella Peters has reassured her fans of her safety following a kidnapping attempt in Abuja on June 21, 2024.
News About Nigeria reported that on June 21, Peters took to Instagram to narrate her ordeal.
She described how she booked a cab and became suspicious of the driver’s movements during the trip.
When she asked him to stop, he refused, forcing her to jump out of the moving vehicle, sustaining injuries that she later had treated.
In a new video posted to Instagram on June 27, 2024, Daniella expressed gratitude for the public’s concern and quick response to her call for help.
“Hello everyone, I’m making this post to address the last post that I made concerning the near kidnapping experience that I encountered on June 21, which was last week Friday,” Daniella said.
“Firstly, I want to thank everyone who has shown concern by calling, texting, commenting, and tagging the necessary organisations that needed to be involved to ensure that this matter was handled urgently.”
Daniella announced that the cab driver who attempted to kidnap her had been apprehended by the police and had confessed to the crime.
“It has been a hard week. I have been to the police station and back, to the hospital,” she shared.
“I just want to thank the police for handling this matter thoroughly and for their thorough investigation. As we speak, the driver has confessed to everything I said.”
In her caption, she added, “UPDATE! I am safe now and recovering. I would like to thank everyone who showed their concern throughout this time, God bless you. Be safe.”
