“I barely left my wife and our visitor with our new born baby at home to pray for one of my members who is sick when my wife placed a call to me and all I could hear was her voice of prayer. She could not even tell me what was happening.
“I stopped the prayers and when I got to the house my wife, a member was abducted leaving my three month baby behind,” he recounted.
Nasamu elaborated further that the armed individuals advanced directly towards his dwelling within a complex and exerted considerable endeavors to breach the apertures employing a hammer to shatter the entrance, and when they proved unsuccessful, they initiated discharging weaponry intermittently, compelling his spouse to unlock the portal.
