Kidnap attempt CCTV footage
Alusi shared a CCTV footage on Facebook capturing how four men attempted to kidnap Sunny and how the man managed to escape.
“Kidn@ppers attempted kidn@pping my friend at his residence in Ogwashi Uku Delta State, last night😳 please be vigilant, take a closer look and see how he narrowly escaped them. Sunny your God no dey sleep,” Alusi wrote.
In the clip, Sunny could be heard explaining what happened to some people in the background.
The clip showed when Sunny drove into his residence and was followed by weapon-wielding men, who appeared to have trailed him.
Noticing what was about to happen, Sunny, who wanted to park his car, made a reverse and faced the car towards the gate. He said the kidnappers, about four, locked his gate.
In a swift moment of desperation and risky display of cleverness, Sunny left his car in motion and fled. The footage ended with the kidnappers leaving the scene after their mission was foiled.
