Four of us were kidnapped for rituals in 2001. I was the only person allowed to go with even transport fare – Isreal DMW recounts

Singer Davido’s logistics manager, Israel Afeare, known as Israel DMW, shared his harrowing encounter with kidnappers from years past. The Edo-native social media personality revealed that in 2001, he was abducted along with three companions after boarding a vehicle en route from Lagos to Ibadan.

He recounted how their captors, whom he believed were involved in ritual practices, took them to a forest during the journey for their intended rituals. However, luck was on his side as he managed to be released, receiving transportation fare to safely depart from the harrowing ordeal.

He wrote, “Four of us were kidnapped for rituals in 2001, on our way from Lagos to Ibadan, after entering a vehicle.

“They took us to a very thick forest. I was the only one allowed to go, saying I was a very bad market. They gave me N200 to add to the already 40 naira with me for transportation. I just give glory to God Almighty.”
