Married woman narrates how she was almost kidnapped in Akwa Ibom and the tactic the kidnapper used that made passersby ignore her cry for help

A woman has narrated a scary experience between her and a kidnapper that has shocked her followers.

The married mum-of-one said she left her phone at home to run errands and was almost done with her errand when a man in a car stopped beside her to ask for directions.

She said she told him she did not know the location and he started wooing her. When she told him she was not interested, she said he got down from the car and started dragging her into his car.

When she started screaming for help and people gathered, she said the man told them that she is his girlfriend and he sponsored her through school. He also claimed that she was in the car with him before she stormed out in anger.

The woman said those who gathered taunted her and called her out for wanting to dump the man after he sponsored her in school.

As she cried for help, she said no one attempted to help her and the man was almost carrying her off when an Igbo man parked his car and intervened. When the Igbo man asked the kidnapper for the woman's name, he gave the wrong name and the woman provided her ID to prove that's not her name.

The kidnapper was still not deterred and kept trying to drag her away with support from passersby until a vendor the woman buys yams from noticed the commotion and came to the woman's rescue.

At this point, the kidnapper got into his car and escaped while the woman was left shocked at how close she came to being kidnapped while people watched and did nothing.

THERE'S A NEW ABDUCTION / K!DNAP FORMAT IN UYO, AKWA IBOM STATE.

Dear ladies, be very careful and vigilant.

Because the average Nigerian man is a misogynist.

Scratch that..

The truth is that we still live in a society that's deeply sexist and misogynistic, on both an individual and a systemic level.

I still can't comprehend how a woman would be in danger, screaming for possible help...

With proofs that she's ignorant of what's happening to her, and all the men could do is smirk or scoff at her.

I'm still crying and shaking from the event of this morning.

I left my house early this morning to run a "quick errand".

Not far from my house... But around my vicinity.

As I was about stepping out, electricity was restored and decided to just plug my phone cuz, why not?

Especially in this era of PHED's 132KV power outage daily sermons.

I told myself I wouldn't be needing my phone; after all, it was just a "quick errand",

One I had planned to simply dashed out and back within an hour or not more than 1hr 30mins max.

So I left.

Concluded the first errand, and en route to the last one.

Along the way, I realised I needed a sanitary towel urgently, and walking to grab one from a pharmacy along Aka Road.

A car was ahead of me, a camry with tinted glasses parked (as indicated by the tail light).

As I was approaching, the driver excused me.

Me: Hi, good morning

Guy: good morning, please I'm trying to locate Ikot udobong.

Me : Sorry, I don't know.

Him: you're not from here?

Me: No.

Guy: I like you... Can I have your number?

Me: from where to where? For person wife?

I hissed and walked away briskly.

I hadn't even walked 10 steps, when I felt a sudden grab on my arm.

😳😳😳😳

Guy wetin happen? What's the issue?

This guy switched on me, raised his voice.

Saying, after all he invested in me, I think I'd just walk out from the relationship?

How he paid my fees, now I have graduated and don't want to marry him again.

😳😳😳 HOW?

Do you know me before?

How? When? Where did all these tales come from?

First off, I guaduated since 2007... That's 18yrs ago. And I've been married since 2011.

This guy was dragging me back to force me into his car.

I was SHOUTING at the top of my voice, LEAVE ME ALONE ... I DON'T KNOW YOU.

The next thing, an elderly lady came to the scene, and said...

"Yes o, this is how they do, I know her type, a man will suffer to train them finish, them go wan break up, if you check now, she don get another man"

Before you know, Keke men started gathering.

This guy was speaking ibibio, yelling, still grabbing my arm.

Telling them how we woke up together this morning, left the house together and we had a little misunderstanding along the way, and I stormed out of the car.

How he trained me in school, he has done introduction and now, I'm saying I no do again.

😳😳😳😳 I shock. Guy, Wetin be this one like this?

I know you from Adam? I kept asking him.

I was trying to explain myself in English, saying I don't know this man ooo, as I only understood ibibio but can't communicate fluently in it.

Keke men had parked and were saying this na husband and wife matter, make una go settle am for house.

This lunatic of a guy was now telling me, he will beat me and strip me naked.

I remembered Ibom Air and Commy and started crying.

Praying for God to send swift intervention and help.

As soon as I said, God please help me, one guy pulled over...

Seemed he was going to work from how he dressed.

Asked what's going on. I narrated the story. He spoke igbo to me, and I said I don't understand.

The igbo guy said it could be a case of mistaken identity...

This lunatic planning to kidnap me said nooo.

And still repeated we left his house together this morning and I started misbehaving on the road.

That was when he asked the guy...

Igbo man : You said she's your woman?

Guy: Yes. Na my wife - to - be.

Igbo man : wetin be her name?

Guy : which kind question be this? So I no sabi my woman name?

Igbo man : wetin be her name?

Guy : Imaobong Peter

Igbo man to me : Is that your name?

No Sir.

I opened my purse and gave him my IDs: driver's license, my business card, even expired ATM card I had to confirm my name.

The igbo man told him to let me go, that my name is not Imaobong Peter.

Next, he switched on the guy, accusing him that oh... So you're the new guy.

See me that was just walking to go buy sanitary pad 😭😭😭

This mad guy insisted that the igbo man was wasting his time...

That I must follow him home.

He had support from his people, the Keke men, speaking dialect, being so condescending, calling me all sort of names, with the woman still claiming how she knows young girls my type.

At this point, I was holding on to the igbo man, cuz my safety was now dependent on him.

I was crying and screaming he should help me dial my husband's number.

From no where... My messiah landed.

This guy that eventually rescued me is the younger brother to my customer, who sells yam in Akpan Andem market.

They took turns to sit in the stall, and when his brother isn't around, he sells to me.

He was going to the market and saw a small gathering, he came.

As soon as he saw me, he said...

Ah... Aunty na you? Nsido (wetin happen), you no drive today?

As I began telling him, he screamed...

Utoto ke do oooo ooo...( na scammer / 419 he be oooo)

I know this aunty, na my customer, I know her husband, pikin and car sef.

In fact, make I call her husband make e come,

As soon as the kidnapper guy heard that, he let me go, and hurriedly entered his car and drove off.

The woman too... His ardent supporter, disappeared all off a sudden.

That's how this guy began narrating that this is the in thing now,

That just last week or so, this same thing happened to a girl he knows, on this same Aka Road.

I am grateful to him, the igbo man...and to God for the swift intervention.

I don't know what would have happened to me.

Considering how Nigerians blame victims for everything...

They would have cooked and twisted the story for engagements and monetization.

This will make the forum more interesting for everyone.

It has nothing to do with ours being a misogynistic society.

The kidnappers are capitalising on Nigerian women's tainted reputation.

Thanks for sharing anyways.

So if he sponsored her in school true true...


it's okay for him to bundle her in his car and whisk her away while some people cheer?

These are the kind of things I sometimes complain about Nigerians and people come for me!

Thanks for this, na to add am join wetin we know about kidnapping in tbis.zoogeria of a country

woman narrates how she was almost kidnapped in Akwa Ibom and the tactic the kidnapper used that made passersby ignore her cry for help

God help us... This people find ways to hurt people... They’ll meet their end sooner than they expect.
I've heard of something like this in my area before; the guy was harassing the girl on the road, he even took her phone and I think her purse too. People said they were dating, but not until the guy left that they found out that he's a thief that just met the girl on the way claiming to be her boyfriend... the irony of it is that people just watched the scene..

I don't speak to strangers up to 5 seconds....in the bus, anywhere. Except for mosque or place of work

How did the ign0rant crowd allow that kidnapper and accomplice escape?

Even if she knew the or anything why would they support that he bundle her into the if she doesn't want to go, we should do better and learn to watch out for each other....

Which kind wahala be dis eh?

Why them no worlor him eye when they found out he is a kidnapper

Twitter stories and Facebook pranks all over the internet with even too much nollywood movies don confused too many younger youths

Madam, thanks for sharing.
But, a new format will always be developed, human beings will always find ways for survival.bmay God continue to help us.

The people in that area are so dumb... even if she's your wife oga if she's not following you is not by force.

May God help us all in the hands of kidnappers because obviously government cannot do anything

CodeTemplarr na wa o, women are more misogynistic towards themselves than men. You can see that from the article where a woman came and said she knows her type and didn't help.

Also have ever wondered why women do not vote for their fellow women who came to contest for the presidency of Naija despite the fact women have more numerical strength than men in Naija...

Na dem dem dey do demselves

The kind of dumb stories NL keeps pushing to the front page taking us as fools.

You forgot your 📱 but took your ID.

Married woman with a kid?

Is that the woman on the post you people are promoting with style

Third-rate website

This social media era of lies and fake lives, to believe things easily out of emotions is just so hard...

But if is this this story is real....its kind of scary...

Majority of Nigerians are very lawless and uncivilized.

[color=#1986BC] The IGBO man saved her life,it's quite obvious that if not for the IGBO man then this lady would have been taken in broad daylight.....[/color]

You left your phone at home but had your id on you,what manner of people will allow any man forcefully drag anyone even his wife into a car?.....the story Noh add at all.

Men with Akamu for brain. What if he sponsor her education? She beg am?

Abi, relationship na by force?

Thank God for the Igbo guy that came at a perfect time to put some intelligent delay or else, she would have been bundled into the car and most probably use their handkerchief soaked chemical to silence her in the car..... lesson of the narrative, always regard people you think are beneath you, they maybe your life safer when you least expected. Imagine how she was rescued by the Yam seller due to the fact that they have good customer seller relationship which extends even to the Yam seller having her husband's number......Congrats Madam....Naija is highly dangerous to survive talkless of being secured.....How children go to school and come back home safely is a miracle that needs to be studied in that country called Nigeria....70% of the citizens are mean and very wicked.....wouldn't think twice to kpai you as long as money will come out..... Everyone should be conscious of the location of your dependants....call them to be sure they have arrived wherever they said they are going to.....you ain't policing anybody but just checking on them cos of their safety.....parents should also be calling the minder or the teacher to check the farewell of their kids....driving your car atimes ain't luxury but provides a margin of safety and comfort.....if she was in her car, probably such couldn't have happened to her....just probably Atleast......
