Big Brother Naija star Daniella Peters has reassured her fans of her safety after surviving a kidnapping attempt in Abuja on June 21, 2024. In a video posted to Instagram on June 27, 2024, Daniella thanked the public for their concern and prompt response to her S.O.S.
“Hello everyone, I’m making this post to address the last post that I made concerning the near kidnapping experience that I encountered on June 21 which was last week Friday. Firstly I want to thank everyone who has shown concern by calling, texting, commenting and tagging the necessary organisations that needed to be involved to ensure that this matter was handled urgently.”

She announced that the cab driver who attempted to kidnap her had been apprehended by the police and had confessed to the crime. “It has been a hard week, I have been to the police station and back, to the hospital. I just want to thank the police for handling this matter thoroughly and for their thorough investigation. As we speak the driver has confessed to everything I said.”

Daniella added in her caption, “UPDATE! I am safe now and recovering. I would like to thank everyone who showed their concern throughout this time, God bless you. Be safe.”

On June 21, Daniella took to Instagram to narrate her ordeal, describing how she booked a cab and became suspicious of the driver’s movements during the trip. When the driver refused to stop the vehicle upon her request, she had to jump out of the moving car, sustaining injuries that she later had treated.
