Methodist Prelate Gives Chilling Account Of His Experience With Their Kidnappers, Make Disturbing Revelations

The Methodist Church Nigeria Prelate, His Eminence Samuel Kanu Uche, have narrated his near death experience in the hands of kidnappers.

The Prelate was kidnapped alongside the Bishop of Owerri Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dennis Mark and the Prelate’s chaplain were on Sunday, kidnapped in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia state.

Narrating his experience in a Press conference held at Methodist church yaba, Lagos state and monitored by All Facts Newspaper, the clergyman said their abductors were fulanis alleging that some personnel of the Nigerian Army from Fulani extraction were aiding the kidnappers in their activities.

In his word;

“These people came out from the bush;they divided themselves into 3 places; some people fired at us and there was another group in front to make sure that we didn’t run away; they fired shots at our vehicle and eventually, they abducted 3 of us.


“The communication man of the church was able to escape, the driver was able to escape; the abducted me, the bishop of Owerri and my chaplain and they took us to the bush and were torturing us. It was in the process of that torture that I hit my right eye on a tree. Even when blood was flowing and I was soaking my eyes with a handkerchief, they didn’t feel like anything happened.

“All they said was that we should follow them; that they were not actually against Nigerian citizens but against the government, that the government is a bad government.

“They are Fulani boys; all the 8 are fulanis; they said the day they will see the president or any of his representatives they will chew him raw; that he is their brother but he has disappointed them and has disappointed Nigeria.

”I said even though am part of government, am a church man am not a government official; they said okay, that is what have saved you, we would have killed you out-rightly without asking for any ransom but now that you are a church man, lets go inside the bush.

“I trekked up-to 15 kilometers but I knew that we were rigmaroling, going up going down and eventually at 11pm they said okay now we can negotiate; each of us will pay N50million and we are going to pay N150million. I thought it was a joke; I said we were going to pay 10million and they said what? Don’t say that; they lifted up their knife to cut me,I said please hold on.”

According to the clergy, the leader of the group is about 35 years while the others are about 18.

He said they had taken his rings, chain, took the money they had on them and insisted on 150 million ransom.

The clergy said the abductors came down to 100million ransom, warning that if they negotiate, they would be killed.

“I said okay. We will pay you N100 million. After some time, they said where is the money and I said this is Sunday night how can we get money this night and you know that there is this sit at home in igbo land. We cant afford the money now be patient till morning, we will make contacts.”

He said they lost patient, laid bishop Dennis Mark down, raised a knife to cut him, while another pointed a gun at him (prelate) to show that they were serious.

“I told them we will raise the money for you. But the irony of it, where they were situated, the soldiers all of Fulani extraction, Nigerian soldiers, they were there at Lomara junction and this boys were going behind them. Meanwhile they kept their cows somewhere, numbering about 200.

He said some people were taking care of the cows while the abductors were parading them around the bush until they settled at a place,

“they said when are you bring the money? I said by 12 noon, I will call the people i’ve contacted whether the money had been raised and I called them, they said that they are gathering the money and they heard it because they said I will use my phone to talk, they cant use their phone, they don’t want to be tracked

“their leader was born in igbo land but his parents have died. He said he was born around Umuahia Amuzukwu and his father was a cow dealer, the boy understood igbo”

He said the leader threatened to kill them if they informed security operatives when they had raised N100million.

The leader asked them to buy 5 ghana must go bags and put N20 million in each bag. They left to pick the ransom while four others waited on them with guns.

“Around 5:30pm, the youngest boy who I think is a younger brother to their commander said oga congratulations you are free you can go now. We have got our money, you can go. Let me show you the road.

“They took us to old road, where they wrote welcome to Imo’ and ‘goodbye from Abia”.

“They told us that after buying enough weapons, they are going to bring all those people that were driven away from zamfara, katsina, sambisa forest that they are all coming to locate themselves in igbo land and deal with us.

“He said do you know Ibadan expressway? We are in all the bush there , we are also in the south south, we are waiting for the slightest signal we will finish you people and take over this land. They claimed that Nigeria belong to Fulani.

The priest maintained that military personnel’s of Fulani extraction were aiding the kidnappers who disguise as herders in the daytime but are kidnappers at night.

He called on the government to take a decisive action ‘other wise what is happening in the north will be a child’s play”

On how they picked up the ransom, he said the terrorists came to the pick up spot with a truck without a number plate.

He stated that all efforts made to ensure that he is released was the effort of the Methodist church and her members and not security personnel nor government.

Yoruba! Yoruba!! Yoruba!!! How many times did I call you? Stop the attempt to attach yourselves to the Benin people or you will continue to be educated and schooled on historically facts as forest wandering people who incidentially equally had fallen angels as ancestors. What a double tregedy! To before warned is............ wh

Nigerian Army killing innocent citizens and lieing on them since 1914. This is a clear case of extra judicial murder. Arresting 'suspected' criminals, tying them hands back and executing them is a classic example of ISIS trademark not what is expected of a democratic government. ni

Biafran women doing great and mighty things. Proudly a resolute woman from Biafra.

@ Op, are you a "mouthhead?"

...Because The Nation is a newspaper for the. "Mouthheads" and the dullard from Daura is. The president of the group.

I heard that this Oba is a lost soul and a president of the "mouthheads?" Is it true?.

[quote author=Victorvexz post=48681592]Never u in ur miserable life compare the great and respected Nelson Mandela with that fraudster called Kanu. U can keep deceiving urself that same thing will happen, just relax and watch all this all this nonsense ends, lets see if u can ever win the government [/quotemm]....mumu! Even the so called your respected and great Nelson Mandela was once tagged a terrorist by Britain and the USA. They once also claimed that he can never win the status quo and what finally became of those naysayers like you? Disappointment! just like you will finally get disappointed soon.

AxeurdaddyIX:
A high percentage of your 'role models' snort coke. Just relax

Sorry to disappoint you. I don't have 'role models' that have dual personalities.However, my role models are not politicians but selfless freedom fighters.

Victorvexz:
Guy this is Nigeria, not some European country. He is doing himself if he thinks he is trying to prove a point by doing all this nonsense. Keep deceiving urself, intact it is the wish of majority of Nigerians that Kanu rot in jail.

Same thing they once said about South Africa and Mandela? ****Oya continue to rant*****

He is looking good in the pix no doubt.....but still retains his tradmark looks of a cocaine user.

Oba Akiolu of Lagos AKA the Lagoon terrorist Oba of the 3rd worst liveable city in the world is still talking? Why do Yoruba terrorists monarchs wants to be heard?

LORDOFTHEOSU:
You hypocrites should stop all these idealistic nonsense. Are the prisoners being paid for coming to prison? How many countries on earth actually pay prisoners for whatever? when did the rot in the Nigerian prison service start?

This case is highly unfortunate because i'm sure some innocent awaiting trial candidates would be there.

RIP to the innocent

Actually, there are quite a lot of countries that pay their prisoners. Google is your best frnd and then thank me later.

mrvitalis:
The truth is this wee need to help our northern brothers, but instead of giving them fish let's teach them how to fish.

That region is good for wheat production, corn also will do well there, soybean will also do well. .. What am saying is this government should make these people form cooperatives, putting there farm lands together to have a large area were mechanised farming would be profitable..

This how it would work
They come together and form cooperatives (people who have lands together)
Government on there part supplys improved seeds, fertilizers and machines as loans to the farmers
Government also train the people on modern ways of farming to increase yeild

Government offers to buy the products at a fixed price, take the loan and give them there profit

With this they can settle themselves

But we have been helping these northerners since the days of John the Baptist and even all the foreign Aids that comes into the country, the lion shares goes to them. How long shall we continue to help them? No school them no gree, even the ones when go school no fit speak english (Escaped Chibok SSCE writing students of the now infamous Chibok Scam comes to mind here). Be peaceful sef, for where? We go kill ourselves for them? Btw, why is the hypocrisy in you not allowing you to ask them to ask their leaders "what they have being doing with all the federal allocations and foreign aids they have being receiving even before John the baptist finally baptised Jesus?***** if it was a certain part of the country you for don they rant

hagmond1:
use your grey matters,if you have any left,the man in question was arrested because his neighbour reported him to the police,what as pres buhari have to do with this,that prompted Reno to write this nonsense.
why is it that the northerners are always on heat to kill and destroy?
ask those at the receiving end of the 1966 pogrom.

Oh! Foreigners are also included in this your northerners who are always on the heat to kill and yet you don't see anything wrong in man being on heat to kill another who has not committed any offence against the consitution(Law of the land)

hagmond1:
the way gain fawehinmi was scared of abacha,when he was protesting about the trials of ken Saro wiwa?

. Wow! Are you trying to be. Funny or what? And how many Yorobbers lined up after Gani to protest against Abacha? Didn't they all flee with the country via NADECO routes to self-imposed exiled with their legs touching their necks as they flee never to return till we out of pity cried unto God and the answered us. If only we knew that you will be making mouth today, we won't have cried to God to take away the Yoruba Nemesis called - Sani Abacha

hagmond1:
This guy is a matured ret@rd.
the guy in question named his dog after his neighbour's father in a predominant Hausa quarters in Ogun state,how did president buhari get into this,if the Hausas bounce on the buffoon for his suicidal act,y'all will scream to high heavens,telling the world how Hausa are killing you since their brother is now the president.
Reno would only remember how Aisha called fayose a dog but not how fayose said many unprintable things,including wishing death on buhari before and after the elections on national dailies,reno is also blind to the fact that Jonathan called Yoruba elders touts,but angry that Soyinka called Patience an hippo,the same Soyinka that protested and supported the emergence of the otuoke dunce.

Sorry, did you by omissison or commission author the bible book of lamentation? ***in the voice of Mama Peace, oya continue*****

IGBO TRADER WHO NAMED HIS PET DOG "BUHARI" RE-ARRESTED. The Ogun State Police Command yesterday, said it had rearrested Mr. Joe Chinakwe, who named his pet dog Buhari, noting that the suspect would be arraigned in court on Monday. It also stated that Chinakwe, who was earlier released a few days ago, was picked up again based on its belief that the suspect’s action was capable of provoking an ethnoreligious crisis.

Saturday Vanguard had exclusively reported the three-day detention and subsequent release of the 30-year old after the intervention of the Serkin Hausa and President-General of non-indigenes in the state. He was taken into custody after one of his neighbours, who was later found out to be a Nigerien complained that the dog was named after his father, Alhaji Buhari.


It was learned that the prompt intervention of the elders made the complainant to withdraw the case at Sango-Ota Division. Police sources had earlier told Vanguard that upon his release, the father of two, who hails from Ukwunzu in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State and the complainant were made to sign an undertaking not to cause any breach of peace.

In the light of these, the suspect’s arrest yesterday opened another page on the matter that had aroused public interest. However, the state’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi, told newsmen that Chinakwe was rearrested yesterday to prevent the state from being plunged into crisis, adding that the complainant and his sympathisers had threatened to kill the suspect. He further stated that

the suspect was being held at the Criminal Investigation Department of the command, noting that the arrest was done to save Chinakwe’s life. In addition, the Police mouthpiece said the suspect, had confessed that he named his pet dog Buhari and had the name written on the body of the dog. His words: “The man is here with us. He is at the Criminal Investigation Department.

The charge will be prepared here and he will be arraigned at Sango Magistrate Court on Monday. “He is going to court on Monday because what he did was highly provocative.


It can cause an ethnic and religious crisis. We have to be proactive, we cannot fold our arms and allow the state to be plunged into crisis. “In fact, the arrest was made to save the suspect’s life because the complainant and his group have threatened to kill him if he comes back and this may trigger violence”.

Further investigation by Vanguard showed that the Police had not recovered the dog which may likely serve as evidence.

Chinakwe was arrested last Saturday after one of his neighbours complained that he named the dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.

This is exactly what happens when a dullard is in power, everything turns to comedy. People with Igbo sounding names. And other 5 percenters have now became an endangered specie.

ever811:
after stepping his feet in the zoo,who is feeling the heat?..and nigeria is facing trouble times,not because of that foolish thing you call oga diletor..I thought you people said he will come to the zoo nd nothing will happen to him? he is now in a place he deserve in the zoo reciting the nigeria pledge 3times daily yet Russia, Iraq,Kuwait,Israel,America,British has not come to bomb the zoo...and you still have a word to say? shameless empty chest beater you are...

The truth is that absolutely nothing as happened to NK even after entering the Zoo called niGERia. Arresting and locking up a freedom fighter is actually the ingrident needed to fertlize the struggle and the dullard fell for it. Its when this 'quip' is over that most of you that are so short sighted will discover how foolish Buhari was to have fallen for the trap by NK.

RedBeauty:
Worst city ke
Who do poll

Lagos all day everyday baby if them like let it be dumping ground for waste : fact still remains it is the heart of naija ..

In the voice of Nnamdi Kanu.......***Lagos is the heart of darkness*****

Omonigeriarere:
I thought you guys said he was untouchable because he operates in spirit. If Nigeria is truly a zoo, you parents and grand parents are ANIMALS because it is only animals that take zoo as their habitat.

Problem is everywhere and freedom is not even free in Freetown: this country CAN NEVER COLLAPSE and its peace is non-negotiable.

Your ignorance is capable of winning olympic gold. How can my parents and grand parents come from your cursed entity called niGERia when they are fact older than the contraption? The truth is that the Zoo contraption is collapsing and its collapse will soon be finalized. Did you not hear OBJ recently ranting of how the contraption has NEVER being this collapsing before except during the civil war?

amc:
And he entered the zoo on a fake passport. I wonder why he didn't tun up at the airport using his real passport like every other law abiding citizen will do. The only people who have not known peace since his arrest are his supporters and his family. Don't be deceived bro. Please try and travel out of your enclave and see how people are living normal lives and majority don't even know what IPOB or who Kanu is.

this is pure childishness...Its no longer that he didn't came with any passport as lied by the dullard of Daura. Its now that he came in with fake passports? You mean that he must have been a spirit to by-pass the UK and niGERia immigration with fake passports? Abeg wake up from your lieing paradise!

Why am I not surprise? Very soon people may have to be paid to live this South Was.te city of Lagos and they will still turn it down. Actually those that I been to hell and returned, have confirmed that there is absolutely no difference between living in the "city of hell" and that of Lagos.

Lagos ranks world’s 3rd worst city to live in

A report released  yesterday by The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Lagos as the third worst city to live, maintaining its position at the lowest rungs of the Global Liveability index.


Several other global reports had also said that Lagos, with a population of over 22 million, would in the next few years, become the 4th mega city in the world, with a population of over 30 million.

The city placed 138th out of the 140 cities ranked in the latest liveability survey, just above war-ravaged Tripoli and Damascus.

“Of the poorer-scoring cities, 13 continue to occupy the very bottom tier of liveability, where ratings fall below 50 percent and most aspects of living are severely restricted.

“Continued threats from groups like Boko Haram acts as a constraint to improving stability in Lagos,’’ the report stated.

Escalations in hostilities in Libya prompted a sharp decline in liveability in Tripoli, according to the report, while Damascus, although seeing a stabilisation in its decline, remained rooted to the bottom.

The top five best countries to live in, according to the report, remain unchanged from last year and they include Melbourne, Australian; Vienna, Austria; Vancouver, Canada; Toronto, Canada; and Calgary, Canada.

The liveability survey assesses which locations around the world provide the best or the worst living conditions across five broad categories, including stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

Lagos scored highest in culture and environment, followed by infrastructure. It scored lowest in stability.

Three other African cities joined Lagos at the bottom rung of the liveable cities, including Douala, Cameroon; Harare, Zimbabwe; and Algiers, Algeria; ranking 132nd, 133rd, and 134th respectively.

While no African city made it to the top 10 most liveable cities, five were in the 10 least liveable cities.

Steve Ayorinde, Lagos State Commissioner for Information, could not be reached for comments last night as phone calls and text messages to his mobile number yielded no response. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/lagos-ranks-worlds-3rd-worst-city-live/

ENZOSCIFO1:
Look at this man trying to be clever by half. If announced and gave details that he is coming to the Zoo where me and you reside as animals why did he travel with an alias?
You should keep your stories for the gullible lots of Biafra

Can you hear yourself? Can someone who came in with his 2 passports be travelling with an alias? It seemed that you believed the lies that the dullard of Daura told that NK came into the Country without any passport? Is your reason below par for you to have believed the Daura liar? Can't you ask how someone can pass the British immigration without a passport on his depature from London and passed the niGERia immigration too without a passport on his arrival in the cursed entity called niGERia. Are you that poor in reasoning?

engrchykae:
there is nothing. the British can do because the Nigeria in question is a British creation meant to serve British economic interest.

Same way America was once the creation of Britain Ditto for the united Sudan. What of. The united India and others?
