Benue-born ex-corps member, Abraham Amuta turns down offer to be freed by Boko Haram, gives reason

A Benue-born ex-member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) identified as Abraham Amuta, has reportedly 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 Christianity.

Daily Trust reports that the negotiation for the release of Amuta and the other captives continued until yesterday when the process collapsed at the last hour following the ex-corps member’s decision to remain with his captors.
