…..The terrorist don’t jokes with their prayers. They prayed alot and recited Quran…
Mr Zacheaus Olatunde, one of the abducted of Oriire School
narrates why Mr Oyedokun and Deacon John Olaleye were killed by the terroriists
“Terrorists said Mr Michael Oyedokun disobeyed them, they said he died because he disobeyed their order. That day when we reached the forest, they told us to drop all our phones, we did so but we didn’t know that Mr Michael Oyedokun didn’t dropped his own. A terrorist who was sitting with him on the motorcycle discovered a phone in his pocket and he began to question him, the teacher said he did hear when they said that, immediately the terrorist slapped him and when their commander heard, he took it up and he was furious.
They have two commanders, a General commander and a camp commander. The General commander said; If I didn’t kill anyone…I must kill this man for disobeying my order.
The following day, Mr Michael Oyedokun was slaughtered. He was shouting as they were dragging him away, he was begging and his noise was so loud but later…no more noice.
One terrorist in his age of 17 or 18 came later, he was dancing and singing to celebrate the death of the teacher.
Mr. John Olaleye was morderred on June 7, they killed him because they said they have warned that military men should not move closer.
They were not killed in our presence, they took them to another place to carry out their evil act, we were hearing their voices.
They have a tent where they kept us, chained and our hands were handcuffed the whole 56 days.
Our eyes were blindfolded all through, and anytime we wanted to pee or defecate, we would beg them.
They changed locations regularly, we didn’t stay in one place through out the 56 days.
We were punished for any crime those little children committed. We were hit with gun
They don’t jokes with their prayers. They prayed alot and recited Quran. They would never miss their prayers and when it’s time to recite Quran, they would never miss it.
The terrorists said they didn’t want money but they wanted their people who were arrested to be freed, that was their demand. We men suffered alot, they should not see us praying, anytime they noticed we were praying…they would beat hell out of us. They said they didn’t want us to pray or call Jesus.
When he was asked how they were saved. He said that the terrorists willingly released them. They asked us to go that day because military have abducted their families, they told us to go willingly so that their families could be released as well.
When we were released, they told us the way to pass and they told us we will see two streams on the way. After those two streams, you will see the solders who are there to receive you, they told us.
I was the one carrying everyone when we reached the streams, I carried almost those little children because most of them were already weak. After a short trek, we saw some security men who have been waiting to receive us.
It was a bitter experience, they gave us majorly rice and red oil, no pepper and sometimes it would be only rice without salt or red oil.
There was a time they killed a deer and a grasscutter for us. Since the day they have eliminated Mr John Olaleye, they have changed to us, they started treating us well, they changed their cruelty ways of dealing with us. They changed when they heard that some of their family members have been abducted by the solders.
The day we would be released, they asked us if we would take our bath but we said no, we were eager to live the forest. They told us to get ready that we would go home that day.
When we reached Ibadan, one of the military commanders asked me if I could identify the terrorists if I see them on phone. He showed me their pictures and I could identify one. They told us they have arrested 8 of the terrorists and others have been nutrilized.
We thank God that we survived but we are not happy that Mr Michael Oyedokun and Mr John Olaleye could not come back”
We thank God God for your life Mr Zacheaus. The rest of your life will be free of tribulations in Jesus name.
