A former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, identified as Abraham Amuta, has reportedly rejected an offer to be released from Boko Haram captivity, Daily Trust reports.
The newspaper says the ex-corps member declared his stance when negotiators went to the Sambisa Forest to secure his release.
Amuta also reportedly told negotiators that he had renounced his Christian faith and had become a member of the Boko Haram sect.
Amuta was abducted on 10 April 2019 on Gwoza-Maiduguri road alongside Moses Oyeleke, a pastor with the Living Faith Church Worldwide (aka Winners’ Chapel) in Maiduguri,
Oyeleke and Amuta were volunteers in a Christian mission established to distribute relief materials to Internally Displaced Persons in the area when they were abducted.
Oyeleke who was released recently from Boko Haram captivity had told reporters at the office of Borno State deputy governor, Usman Kadafur, that the terrorists tried to convert him to Islam.
