In a social media post, Phyna revealed that she narrowly escaped an attempted kidnapping on Saturday. She recounted the ordeal, explaining that the kidnappers seized four cars in front of the vehicle she was traveling in and abducted the occupants.
In her own words, Phyna shared, “So I got to Delta State today (GIG) we were moving in convoy and suddenly one of the cars drifted off the road, which led to a very minor accident, so we all had to stop to see what could be done, but since it was getting late my car and one other decided to continue the journey. Omo that was how the passengers of the 4 cars to the one I was in were kidnapped… they carried them out of their cars and left both cars empty in the middle of the road… see the way cars were turning and riding one way back omo i just dey shiver.”
This alarming incident serves as a reminder of the prevalent security challenges in certain regions, highlighting the vulnerability faced by both locals and high-profile individuals such as reality TV stars.
