The reality star recounts how insurgents abducted her dad before her university exams
Big Brother Naija Season 11 star Bells made a shocking revelation on September 24, 2026. Speaking on Hero’s Therapy in Lagos, she confirmed that gunmen kidnapped her soldier father years ago. Her family still seeks answers because the military cannot verify if he remains alive.
Big Brother Naija Season 11 star Isabella Imoh, whom fans call Bells, broke hearts across Nigeria with an emotional confession. The reality star revealed that armed bandits seized her soldier father during his active duty.
The reality star previously addressed her critics about her exit after leaving Big Brother Naija Season 11. Now, on September 24, 2026, she shared her deepest personal tragedy during an emotional therapy session. She explained that her family still endures terrible pain because nobody knows his true fate.
A Chilling Phone Call Before University Exams
Bells recalled receiving the shocking call while preparing for her second-semester university exams. Her father phoned her directly from captivity to break the agonizing news before she entered the hall.
”I think it’s really time for me to share that part of my life,” she said.
Her father instructed her to stay calm and deliver the message gently to her mother. He spoke northern dialects fluently, which helped him survive initial interactions with the abductors. Bells raced home immediately after the call to support her family through the unfolding crisis.
Ransom Talks Collapse as Communication Ceases
The family raised ransom funds, but the captors rejected the cash payment. The kidnappers shifted their demands toward military concessions and held him in remote forest camps.
”According to the military they’re doing their best to know if he’s alive,” she said.
Periodic calls continued for nearly two years before all direct contact abruptly stopped. Her father hinted at a difficult movement before the phone line went silent forever.
”Hopefully we still have faith that he’s alive,” she said.
Life in Limbo and Reflections on the House
This lasting trauma shaped how Bells forms close bonds with romantic partners today. She admitted that fear of loss makes her hold onto people much tighter. She also addressed persistent rumors regarding intimate encounters inside the Big Brother house.
”I was tired of defending that so I just kind of roll with it,” she said.
She clarified that she shared kisses with housemates but never engaged in full sexual intimacy. Despite the public scrutiny, Bells remains proud of her genuine journey on the reality show.
”I don’t think I regret any moment,” she said.
