Annabel Erikowa, 26,
escaped from her abductors on Friday when the vehicle in which she was
being conveyed got involved in an accident around
Ofosu, a boundary town
between Ondo and Edo states.
Erikowa, who works in
her father’s resort located at the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, was
kidnapped by four gunmen last week.
The kidnappers were heading for an unknown destination when their vehicle crashed on the Lagos-Benin Expressway.
The Deputy Commissioner
of Police in charge of operations in Edo State, Mr. Agberebi Egbuson,
said the police in Iguobazuwa Division rushed to the scene of the
accident after receiving a distress call.
He said the policemen
were however amazed when four of the five accident victims they were
supposed to rescue took to their heels on sighting them.
He said, “When the
policemen approached the scene, four young men in the vehicle took to
their heels and a young woman was found inside. Later, we realised that
the men were actually kidnappers.”
Narrating her ordeal in
the hands of her abductors, Erikowa said she was in her father’s hotel
in Lagos when the gunmen forced her into a waiting vehicle and
blindfolded her before embarking on the journey.
But she could not explain what led to the accident or where it occurred.

....we thank God for her life!
