A Pastor with a Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) in Borno State, Pastor Moses Oyeleke, has spoken on his ordeal while in the captive of Boko Haram
Oyeleke alongside his Assistant Pastor, Abraham Amuta, who’s a National Youth Service Corps member, were abducted.
The duo were on a Church Commitee, setup to distribute relief materials to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
While he was speaking with reporters at the office of the Deputy Governor of Borno state, Usman Kadafur, he said he was requested to be converted to Islam.
He was quoted as saying by The Cable “We were on our way to Chibok when they caught us and took us to Yale; from there, they took a detour and finally took us to Sambisa.
“It was the two of us, myself and my brother, who were not released. They have promised us that when they finish discussions, they’ll release them in December; himself and the elder sister of this girl I was released with.
“I am very happy today that we have been rescued because where we are coming from, we have come from a place of darkness to light; that is why my heart is filled with joy because I have seen my family, friends, and associates.
“I stayed peacefully with them for up to seven months. Many times they have requested me to convert to Islam, their preachers had preached to me a lot of times but you know when you have wisdom, you relate with people in a way that would not lead to quarrel.
“When they come to preach, I pay attention to everything they said and when they asked me questions about things that I know will cause problems if I respond, I always tell them I don’t know so that I don’t say things that would offend them”, the cleric recounted”.
