An ex-member of the National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC), Abraham Amuta, yesterday
allegedly turned down an offer by the Boko
Haram insurgents to be freed and go home.
Instead, the ex-corps member reportedly told
those who went to the Sambisa forest to secure
his release to go back home, saying he had
renounced his Christian faith.
Amuta, a native of Benue State, who was doing
his one-year mandatory service in Borno State,
was abducted alongside a 58-year-old man,
Moses Oyeleke of Living Faith Church in
Maiduguri and few others, including a schoolgirl,
Ndagiliya Ibrahim Umar, on April 10, 2019.
They were abducted along Gwoza road from
Maiduguri on their way to Chibok to deliver
humanitarian assistance.
Seven months after his abduction by the Boko
Haram fighters loyal to Abubakar Shekau, Pastor
Oyeleke was released in November 2019.
