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.
The victim was said doing his one-year mandatory service in Borno State, was whisked away 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 along Gwoza road from Maiduguri on their way to Chibok to deliver humanitarian assistance.
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.
