Home News Twitter user shares how she escaped from alleged kidnappers

on August 31, 2018

A Twitter user, simply identified as Esther, on Thursday shared how she jumped from a moving vehicle in order to escape from alleged kidnappers in Rivers State.

Taking to her Twitter handle, @ExtellD, Esther revealed, that she had gone to transact business at Onne after which she boarded a taxi. She also shared photos of the injuries she sustained when she jumped from the vehicle.

She narrated: “First of all, the driver charged cheaper than other taxis but I felt it was because he was looking for passengers so I entered. Immediately I entered, I just felt something was wrong but I couldn’t pin it. It was just the driver and another guy in front. He drove off immediately I entered.

Then I looked around, everything in the car looked dirty, the seat was dirty. The car was too rough for a normal taxi. Immediately I knew I had been trapped. I placed my hand on the door.

Then the driver asked me where I was going again, I told him but he kept saying different things maybe to confuse me. I kept telling him, even the other guy in front was helping me to give him the direction. That was when I noticed they were giving themselves signals.

My hand was still on the door knob. When we got to the flyover at Mile One, they diverted and climbed Mile One bridge leading to Ikwerre Road instead of going straight to Aba road. And immediately they increased the speed.  I just calmly asked the man “Oga, why did you pass here?”

He coldly answered: “Because I choose to.” Then I knew I was trapped. We were on a bridge so no one will hear even if I scream. We were on full speed. I had to make a choice. Either I jumped out of this car or I begged these people to let me go.

I knew begging them to let me go will be fruitless so I held my bag tightly and did the needful without thinking twice.

I jumped off. I’d rather die that way than to die in the hands of those beasts,” she concluded.
