I was shot twice but I was unarmed, my kidnap wasn’t a publicity stunt – Prince Eke

Few weeks ago, the Nollywood actor was kidnapped while returning from Asaba where he went for a movie shoot. The news of the kidnap was met with skepticism from some Nigerians who felt he stage-managed it. Eke has 
now come forward to shed more light on his experience.
While narrating how he initially escaped before being recaptured, he said: “There was a day I tried to escape but I was recaptured. I thought I would be assassinated so I decided to take my chances. I told the kidnappers that the chain they bound me with was too tight and it was inflicting injury on me.
One of them was ordered to loosen it for me and as he unlocked the padlock used to chain me, I pushed him off and ran into the bush. While I was running, the kidnappers shot at me. It is by the grace of God that I am alive because they shot at me with a pump action gun.
That gun does not just release bullets; it fires pellets as well which could harm someone. Although they shot at me twice, I was unharmed. While I was on the top of the tree, as I was trying to position myself very well, I broke a dry tree branch and this made my abductors locate me.
They pointed their gun at me and ordered me to descend from the tree. That night, they beat me blue black. They used their rifles to beat me and they broke my tooth in the process. They beat me for over three hours.
I do not blame people that said my kidnap was a publicity stunt. I leave them to their opinion. I do not wish anyone to go through what I went through. We celebrities have many ways of being relevant but I cannot go through such length just to be in the news.”…
