"I was almost kidnapped 20mins ago. At the Nema junction, right before Min. of Finance in Abuja.
So i got down from a cab i took from Wuse 2 to Finance Junction. Walked away from the cab closer to the junction to board a Lugbe cab. Out of nowhere, these two built grown ass men jumped me!
One had a cutlass and the other tried to grab a hold of me! I struggled with him, then i fell down. The one with the cutlass took 2 swings at me, and missed, miraculously. I kid you not, both swings were so close to my head, i was right there on the floor and as the cutlass hit the floor, sparks!
I scrambled up but they snatched my bag containing my laptop, notepads, chargers. Just lucky my cell and my wallet were in my pocket. I can't feel my legs!
My sister and brother-in-law just picked me up. Going home now...
It's my first week using commercial transportation in Abuja. And I really regret it. Bruises on both my arms, legs, my back and my legs won't stop shaking! I almost lost my life tonight! I can't explain what I'm feeling rn!
I will never forget tonight. Never! I'm home now and Safe. Thank God!".
