Man kidnapped on eve of wedding day

She said the lady's bride price was paid in 2021, and the wedding was fixed for January 2022, but she was kidnapped on the eve of the wedding.

This happened when all plans for the wedding were already completed and vendors paid for the event.

Victoria said there was no way the event would be called off, given that all was set and efforts to get the groom released fell flat.

She said:

"All vendors were on the ground. Everybody was on the ground. He was kidnapped in the evening. We made contacts to see if they could release him, and the husband was hoping and praying that he was going to be released. We waited till evening, but there was no release and there was no information. We made reports to the police, and no information was coming forth. So we took like 10 minutes and she just had to do a little video. She came out to greet her guests. People were around and she came outside to greet them."
