The trio are said to have disguised themselves as deliverymen to kidnap the 38-year-old on the streets of Montparnasse in Paris, France.

Search and Intervention Brigade (BRI-PP) officers intercepted the group at around midday yesterday (4 Sept).

The investigation into the alleged plot is being carried out by the 3rd judicial police district of Paris.

Kika describes herself as a “serial entrepreneur” on social media.

The influencer, a “connoisseur of all things beauty, fashion, travel, lifestyle and luxury”, has 650,000 followers on Snapchat, 300,000 on Instagram, and 20,000 on TikTok.
