I followed gunmen to save many lives – Anambra native doctor

The Anambra native doctor, otherwise, known as Akwa Okuko tiwara ski, says, he followed the gunmen who kidnapped him to save many lives.

Speaking to friends and well-wishers who thronged his compound shortly after his release, the native doctor said he needed to set records straight in view of erroneous reports trending on social media.

He said, “Let me tell you all what happened. While I was in the kidnappers’ den, I listened to radio and saw how people were speaking all kinds of rubbish, so I decided to set the record straight.

“What really happened was that I was there (at home) that day, at around 11:30, when someone named Okey Japan called me and said they were at my hotel, and that they were spending money, and had spent close to N300,000, and that they would have wanted me to be around.

“I obliged them and drove to the hotel all by myself in my new car. No one came with me. I was there, and not up to 30 minutes, gunshots booming in the air. People started running helter skelter. I now went out to see what’s happening, and the people started shooting at me.

“They killed two of my security men. I don’t want to reveal much now, but I know that two things can only save a man. If your charms failed to save you, your money will save you.

“Anyone who has charms should have money. So the people took me into their car. If I wanted to run away, I would have run away, but I have seen those that were shot, and I said if I should leave, they will kill many people. A lot of people were lying down, and if I wanted to leave, they would have killed many.

“The story too would have been that the whole thing started when I came in, meaning that I was the one who brought in kidnappers. I decided to follow them to show that my hands are clean. What I did was to save many souls. If you think they took me because I ate people’s money, let me tell you I did not. If I ate your money, come to me I will give you money because I have money.

“People may be rejoicing that it happened to me, but let me tell you, if the death that killed the rich, encounters the poor, it will crush him.

“This whole thing is related to this sit- at- home people, and they mentioned names of more people they will take but it’s not something I can say now. They killed many in front of me. They killed up to 20 people before me.

“I did not take anyone’s money, they just came to kidnap and their target is people who have money. They wanted to kidnap as many as 50 people from my hotel that day but I rather followed them.”
