Delta State Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Prince Emmanuel Amgbaduba has narrated how he escaped being kidnapped.
The Delta Commissioner, who spoke via his Facebook page on Monday, revealed that the incident occurred on Sunday evening at 7pm while he was on his way to Warri, Delta State.
According to him, the kidnappers blocked his car along the Nigerian Port Authority Expressway in their efforts to kidnap him, but he reversed his vehicle and fled with speed.
Amgbaduba said, “Dear all, I want you to help me to thank God as the Almighty God protected me from the hands of kidnappers yesterday (Sunday) at about 7pm on my way into Warri Town, at the NPA expressway.
“A beige-coloured Toyota Camry rammed into me and forced my vehicle to come to a halt and two hefty young men popped out from the front seat of the car, one at the back and one guy rushing towards me.
“Without panicking, I put my car in reverse and faced the thug that came out from the passenger side of the car at full speed ahead. While he jumped off the road, I drove off and had a successful getaway,” the commissioner said.
Amgbaduba, who thanked God for protection, urged motorists to be vigilant, especially along the Warri axis.
When contacted, the police spokesperson for Delta State Command, DSP Bright Edafe, could not be reached as of the time of filing this report.
KanyiDaily had also reported how police arrested four persons in connection with the alleged attempt to kidnap popular singer, Tiwa Savage, at her Lagos residence.
