The prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria has revealed more details regarding his ordeal in the hands of his abductors. In his interview with Arise News, His Eminence, Samuel Kanu-Uche, said the leader of his abductors warned him about what would happen if he (the gang leader) consumed a strange substance.
Sharing his ordeal, Prelate Kanu-Uche said, “My abductors said they are from neighboring African countries, but they have lived in Nigeria for many years.” However, I discovered that the gang leader could speak Igbo after I tried communicating with my bishop in Igbo. He cautioned me not to speak Igbo while revealing that his family lived in Umuahia and his father was a cow dealer in the area. He also told me that his parents were dead and he was the one fending for his siblings. He threatened that if he consumed a strange substance, things would go wrong for me.
The Prelate continued, “I begged the gang leader while telling him that I was his father.” However, the kidnapper got upset and said, “Old man, I respect your old age, but do not spill nonsense.” That was how it went, and we kept walking for many hours until we got tired.
