A former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Abraham Amuta, has reportedly rejected an offer for freedom by the Boko Haram sect.
The Benue state born had reportedly told negotiators who went to the Sambisa Forest to secure his release to go back home, saying he had renounced his Christian faith and is now a member of Boko Haram.
Amuta was observing the one-year mandatory service in Borno State when he was abducted on 10 April, 2019 on Gwoza-Maiduguri road. He was heading to Chibok to deliver humanitarian assistance.
He was travelling alongside Moses Oyeleke- a 58-year-old of Living Faith Church in Maiduguri and few others, including a schoolgirl, Ndagiliya Ibrahim Umar.
According to reports, Pastor Oyeleke was released in November 2019. Negotiation for the release of Amuta and the other captives continued until yesterday Monday 3 February when the process was distorted at the last hour subsequent the former corps member’s decision to remain with his captors.
