It has been alleged that an ex corps member of the National Youth Service Corps Abraham Amuta an indigene of Benue state, has reportedly refused an offer of being freed by Boko Haram insurgents.
It can be recalled that, 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 the ex-corps member took a downwards turn when he told those who came to secure his release on February 2 in Sambisa forest to go home as he has already renounced his Christian faith.
