NTV journalist Larry Madowo has revealed interesting details on a terrifying experience he went through during a trip to Kigali, Rwanda.
In a piece titled; A terrifying night experience in Kigali, 'Africa's Safest City', Madowo explains how a man called him late in the night to tell him that he wanted to talk to him.
And just after the call, a man knocked at his hotel door despite the heavy security in the hotel.
"About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on my door...Instead of just knocking repeatedly while calling my name at intervals, he was commentating through the whole thing.
"His accent said he was Kenyan and the fact that he was truly outside my door implied that he was probably crazy. How did this mysterious character pass two access-controlled doors that required a card to open and end up within, right outside my room?" Larry posted.
The man would then attempt to force open the door, throwing Madowo in a panic.
"I just want to talk to you, for like 10 minutes,” the strange man called from outside. Then he tried to force open the door and I started to panic. I have watched horror movies so I know how this story goes.
"It grew into full-blown terror when I tried to call the front desk and the phone line was down. I kid you not, all the hotel’s numbers had that busy tone you hear when your connection has been cut off. The man was still trying to open the door but now I could not reach the hotel’s security team," he stated.
Finally, the Trend Show host managed to get the hotel management on the line and the night visitor was arrested and taken in for investigations.
Preliminary investigations indicated that the 'stalker' convinced the Radisson Blu Kigali’s front desk that he was Larry's friend and claimed that he had his name and room number on a piece of paper when he approached the desk from another room in the hotel.
