I have renounced my faith- Ex-corper who refused to be freed by B/Haram says

An ex-member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Abraham Amuta, who was abducted by Boko Haram and refused to be freed by the terrorist group has given reasons for his actions.

As gathered by MyNigeria, Amuta renounced his Christian faith as negotiation for his release heightened.

Amuta was said to have told those who were sent to the Sambisa forest to secure his release to go back home, saying he was no longer a Christain, Daily Trust reported.

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.

Amuta's case was strange as he decided to stick with his captors.
