How kidnappers gave him transport money to go home, said I was bad market – Isreal DMW
  • Israel DMW, the aide to renowned singer Davido, recently shared a harrowing experience from his past in celebration of his birthday.
  • He recounted an incident from 2001 when he and three others were abducted by kidnappers while travelling on a bus from Lagos to Ibadan.
  • The kidnappers took them deep into a thick forest, but upon realizing that Israel DMW would not give them what they needed, they decided to release him.
  • Instead of harming him, they gave him some money as transport fare to help him find his way back home.

Renowned singer Davido’s personal Logistics Manager, Israel DMW, recently shared a chilling incident from his past in commemoration of his birthday.

In his account, he recalled a horrifying episode from the year 2001 when he was a passenger on a bus travelling from Lagos to Ibadan. During this journey, their lives took a terrifying turn when they were seized by kidnappers.

Israel DMW recounted how these criminals forcibly led them deep into a dense and foreboding forest. However, to his surprise, his captors ultimately decided to release him. This peculiar twist in his story occurred because the kidnappers had deemed him a “bad market,” suggesting that they didn’t believe he would yield any good.

Instead of inflicting harm upon him, the kidnappers displayed an unexpected by providing him with some money. They handed him 200 Naira, which was added to the meager 40 Naira he had with him. This modest sum was intended to assist him in securing transportation back to his home and safety.
