One If The Kidnappers Said I Was A Witch Because They Could Not Find Me- Centerian
A centenarian and retired nurse, Mrs Ifeoma Gbole-Nwikina has recounted how she escaped an attempt to kidnap her.
In an exclusive interview shared by Punch, Mrs Ifeoma said the incident took place in her residence where she was being cared for by a young girl.
She said when the kidnappers stormed her house, the young girl alerted her of their presence and told her to hide.
She said she hid in her wardrobe and was unable to close the door so she left it open.
She said when they entered her room, they searched for her everywhere but they didn’t bother to look inside the wardrobe because the door was open.
According to Mrs. Ifeoma, one of the kidnappers was surprised that they could not find her because they knew she was in the house before they stormed in.
She said another one concluded that she must have been a witch and that she flew out when they came in. She said they eventually left her house and that was how she escaped the attempt. She credited her escape to the will of God.
In Mrs. Ifeoma’s words “They said they came around the day to find out if I was in or not, so they saw me and they went to the waterside to arrange a boat for my abduction.
So when they came to my compound, there was a girl taking care of me. The girl came and told me that some people were looking for me and that I should go and hide.
“I went to hide in the wardrobe. I entered the store where I kept things, which was where the wardrobe was and I could not close the door again.
When they came in, they didn’t bother to look inside the wardrobe because it was open. One of them was surprised but said they saw me that afternoon and the other person said I was a witch and had flown out. That was how they left”
