How I Escaped a “One Chance” Kidnapping Last Night 😭
Omo… I’m still shaking as I type this. I honestly don’t even know how to put this into words, but I need to share this testimony because if not for God, my story would have ended very differently last night.
Please read carefully. This country is not smiling.
It was evening. I just needed to pick up something not too far from my house walkable distance, actually. But because I wanted speed and convenience, I decided to enter a bus.
That decision almost cost me my life.
I entered thinking I was simply saving time. I had no idea I was walking straight into danger.
As soon as the bus moved, something felt off… but before I could fully process it, the situation escalated.
This was not a normal route. They weren’t stopping. They were taking us away.
My heart dropped. Fear gripped me like I’ve never experienced before. I was trapped inside a moving vehicle with strangers who clearly had no good intentions. At that point, all I could do was pray silently.
Just when it felt like there was no escape, the bus hit a deep pothole and jolted violently.
That brief slowdown just a few seconds was all I had.
Something in me snapped into survival mode.
I forced the door open, and without thinking twice, I JUMPED out of the moving vehicle.
By God’s mercy, I landed in a fairly lit area, and there were still people around despite the time of day.
People rushed to me immediately and helped me before anything worse could happen. I don’t even want to imagine what would have followed if I hadn’t escaped when I did.
It felt unreal… like something out of a movie.
🙏 My Testimony
I came out of that situation with only minor scratches nothing broken, nothing severe.
Just scratches… and a life still intact.
I am beyond grateful. Truly, God delivered me from something I cannot even fully explain.
Please, I beg you all be extremely careful with the vehicles you enter, even for short distances.
I’m safe. I’m alive. And I give God all the glory.
