Ex-member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Abraham Amuta, has been revealed as the man who refused to be set free by Boko Haram insurgent.

According to Daily Trust, the ex-corps member from Benue State, told those who came to secure his release in Sambisa forest to go home as he had already renounced his Christian faith.

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, they 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.
