A Nigerian fashion designer has detailed a terrifying kidnapping where her physical appearance became the focus of brutal violence, all based on a mistaken assumption by her captors.
Grace Ebenezer Sey was one of 24 passengers traveling in a commercial boat when their journey was violently interrupted. A speedboat carrying armed men intercepted them, opening fire before forcing everyone onto their own vessel.

“The kidnappers treated us like we weren’t even human,” Grace recounted. “They stacked us on top of each other like fish in a net and even walked on our bodies. We were thrown into their boat like sacks of rice.”
But for Grace, the nightmare took a uniquely cruel turn. The assailants, observing her curvy figure, wrongly concluded she had undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a costly cosmetic surgery. They immediately associated the procedure with wealth and began to assault her viciously.

“They accused me of having money to do BBL but no money to pay a ransom,” she shared. “They flogged my backside with a cutlass so mercilessly that I urinated on myself. They kept threatening to ‘burst’ it, thinking it was fake.”

The traumatic experience was compounded by a moment she believed would be her last. “When their boat rammed into ours and water started rushing in, I was sure my life was over,” Grace said.
While she has not disclosed the details of her eventual release, Grace has chosen to use her platform to issue a warning to other women. Her story has sparked widespread discussion on social media about crime, perceptions of beauty, and personal safety.
“Whatever you do, don’t do BBL,” she cautioned. “And if you must, pray kidnappers don’t catch you, because they will burst it for you.”

Now free, but deeply scarred, Grace describes the ordeal as both humiliating and traumatizing. Her primary emotion, however, is one of gratitude for surviving an attack that was as much about misguided perception as it was about ransom.
“I am just thanking God for my life,” she stated, a sentiment that resonates with many who have followed her chilling story.
