Abraham Amuta, an ex-member of the National Youth Service
Corps has reportedly refused an offer of being freed by Boko Haram insurgents.
Daily Trust reported that the ex-corps member from Benue
State, told those who came to secure his release in Sambisa forest to go home
as he has already renounced his Christian faith.
Amuta was abducted
alongside a Pastor of the Living Faith Church, Moses Oyeleke and few others
including a schoolgirl, Ndagiliya Ibrahim Umar in an attack coordinated by the
insurgents against motorists along Gwoza road from Maiduguri on April 10, 2019.
The abducted persons were on their way to Chibok to deliver humanitarian
assistance before the attack.
Negotiation for the
release of Amuta collapsed at the last hour after he conveyed his decision to
remain with his captors yesterday, February 2.
