I followed the kidnappers so they wouldn’t shoot others – Anambra Native Doctor Akwa Okuko explains reason for not disappearing

Popular Anambra native doctor, Chukwudozie Nwangwu aka Akwa Okuko tiwaraki ( an egg that breaks palm nut), has spoken after regaining freedom from kidnappers.

The native doctor who is popular for having the ability to disappear said that the kidnappers had shot at him but he was unfazed.

He stated that he noticed that the assailants kept shooting at bystanders after killing his security detail, hence he had to follow them to rescue others.

Okuko who was abducted about six days ago at Oba, a community in Idemili South Local Government Area of the state, was released on Saturday morning after reportedly paying an undisclosed amount of money as ransom.

Okuko spoke about the incident via his Facebook page.

“Okey Japan said he wanted to see me because it was his first time coming to my hotel. So, I drove my new car to the hotel without anybody with me. Not up to 30 minutes after I arrived there, gunshots started raining, When I came out to know what was wrong, they began shooting at me, but I know who I am. They subsequently dragged me into their vehicle and zoomed off.

“If I had wanted to run, I would have run, but I had seen people they would shoot at, if I dared to run. What I did was to save the souls of others. I followed them so I would also not be accused of bringing the kidnappers,

They called names of people they would attack later, but I wouldn’t say it myself. Many, about 20, were killed in my presence. They said they wanted to kidnap 50 people.

Even the sit-at-home we observe, in fact the people are angry. There is something they are complaining about. They want to clear everywhere so that they would be taken seriously,”
