An Abuja resident has shared a terrifying account of being kidnapped, assaulted, and robbed by one-chance operators after entering a cab in the city.
The woman explained that she boarded the vehicle, believing it to be safe, as she was headed from Kubwa to her sister’s house in Gwarimpa, Abuja.
Inside the car, there was a driver, a lady in the front seat, and two men seated behind.
As she neared her sister’s house, she called to inform her of her location.
However, one of the men immediately began choking and hitting her.
Desperate for help, she opened the window and waved to passersby, but her pleas for assistance went unanswered.
After enduring approximately thirty minutes of assault, the assailants forced her into the cramped space on the car floor, demanding a ransom of N1.5 million for her release.
She frantically reached out to people she knew for money. Each time someone on the phone stated they didn’t have funds, the attackers escalated the violence.
They seized her ATM card and withdrew money whenever it was sent to her. Additionally, they coerced her into unlocking her phone, only to log her out of the device themselves.
Eventually, the kidnappers informed her that they would release her since her loved ones had contributed N500,000. They also confiscated her bag and personal belongings.
Dropped off on an unfamiliar road, she found herself begging for a ride, but no one offered assistance.
Thankfully, a compassionate stranger eventually provided her with a ride and a phone to call her sister.
The survivor issued a heartfelt warning, urging everyone to be extremely vigilant, especially at night.
She emphasized the lack of shame and conscience of one-chance operators, expressing her gratitude for being alive by the grace of God.
