.
Driving to Port Harcourt with my PA, around
Ubima link into Port Harcourt road from Owerri-
Port road. Three guys jumped out of the bush
with heavy guns, shooting directly at us driving
towards them. As I tried to reverse, two came
from the back with guns too. At that point I
surrendered shouting ” please don’t shoot, please
don’t shoot” they grabbed me and my PA straight
into the bush. At that point, they recognised I was
an actor and they got so excited. We walked for a
long distance inside the bush after they have
already taken every thing on me remaining only
my trousers. They blindfolded and took us to one
uncompleted building and then removed the
blindfold. They waited till night before they took
us by okada for about 30 mins ride to another
uncompleted house where someone lives, because
I heard voices. There, they took away my Atm
cards and requested for my pin, of which I told
them.
There in the building, they were 9 of them. One of
them went and withdrew all the money in my
accounts and they shared among themselves.
From there they transferred us to a thick forest at
night and told us that this is where we were
going to be sleeping till further notice. They
chained us as we slept on the bare floor guided
with four gunmen. The next day, they brought
some dirty wrappers and said that we will sleep
like kings today.
Then I realised that these were young boys of
about 21 / 22 years, as one of them told me his
story of becoming a priest but fought and got
suspended. On Monday night, the day I saw death
face to face. I noticed that the chains on me
wasn’t too tight. So I thought within me that this
may be the best time to escape. I pretended to be
very cold and asked for wrapper to cover myself,
then I started loosening the chains, pushed the
guy with the gun and ran into the bush. They
chased after me shooting. The bush was too
thick that I can’t even run fast. I kept falling, at
the end they caught up with me and I thought
this will be the end, one said waste him at once, I
was crying and begging them to shoot my legs or
do any thing they wish with me but just spare my
life. Then one of them hit my head the with Pump
action and blood rained on me like one under the
shower, my body was soaked in blood. The order
came again “I say waste him” and he replied “wait
first”.
They beat me mercilessly, that I can’t even open
my mouth well up till now or even eat. They were
hitting me all over my body with guns and knives.
When they saw I could bleed to death, they
quickly called my wife and told her that if she
didn’t come up with 15 million naira by Thursday
that they would bury me alive, to serve as
warning to the Federal Govt. and others who
think they can joke with their business. At the
end, their boss told them to tie me crocodile style
for 3 days without food. They tied my hands, legs
and head together for about 3 days. I went to hell
and back. I don’t even know how to explain it. All
I know is that God was in action, and knows why
He gave me another chance.
One of them told me that I am so lucky to still be
alive, that any body that tries to escape, is
nothing but instant death. At the end, we paid the
much we could gather and they freed us. Coming
out from the forest took over 45 mins on bike at
high speed. I still can’t believe I’m alive today,
now I know that God has a mission for me here
on Earth to carry out. And I'm full of gratitude to
God for I know now that He has a purpose for my
life thus He gave me a second chance. I say His
name alone be praised. I also appreciate everyone
for your prayers and support.
