Winners pastor, corps member serving in Maiduguri abducted by Boko Haram during evangelism

A corps member identified as Abraham Amuta was reportedly kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents two weeks ago.

According to Twitter user @OgaSuccess1, Amuta had gone for evangelism with a pastor from his church - Living Faith.

Report has it that they were on their way to Chibok LGA to donate relief items to Christian IDPs, when they were kidnapped. The driver and conductor reportedly escaped.

Oga Success called for prayers for the abducted corps member.

In response to the post, some Nigerians are wondering why he went on evangelism in a place like Maiduguri.

Some others want to know why they still post corps members to places with security issues.

The attacks by the Boko Haram have continued despite the efforts of Nigeria’s security agencies in partnership with those of neighbouring countries to bring it under control.

The insurgents have been largely restricted to three north-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. However, they still carry out attacks on soldiers and civilians in those states.

Legit.ng reported earlier that suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked Magumeri local government area of Borno state.

No fewer than 15 Nigerian soldiers were reportedly killed by the insurgents in an attack on a military base in Borno state, according to security sources.

The insurgents rode into Magumeri local government area at about 6pm on Friday, May 3, and sacked a brigade there. Among the 15 soldiers who lost their lives during the attack were a captain and a lieutenant.
