BBNaija Bells Recalls Father’s Kidnapping
Bells said her father was kidnapped several years ago while she was still under 20.
According to the reality star, her family initially did not suspect that anything was wrong because her father’s military duties frequently required him to stay away from home for extended periods.
The situation changed when the family received information that he had been kidnapped.
“My dad was kidnapped years back. Currently, we do not know his current state. They requested for money, but later rejected the idea, and they said they were going to just keep him in the camp,” Bells said.
Bells Received Kidnap News During Examination
The former BBNaija housemate recalled receiving the devastating news while she was writing her second-semester examination.
She said the development was particularly difficult because the family initially had limited information about her father’s condition and whereabouts.
According to Bells, the family eventually succeeded in establishing communication with him.
During the conversation, her father reportedly explained that he had attempted to escape from his captors but was caught and taken back to their camp.

Despite the years that have passed since the kidnapping, Bells said her family has not received definitive information about her father’s fate.
She explained that the military had reassured the family that they would likely have received information if something had happened to him.
According to Bells, the family has therefore continued to hold on to hope that her father remains alive.
The uncertainty, however, has continued to weigh heavily on the family.
Bells Opens Up About Years of Uncertainty
