The flamboyant native doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu, who was released on Saturday, days after he was whisked away by gunmen has given risen why he didn’t escape his captors.
Narrating his abduction experience after his supporters and fans flocked to his house, Ákwá Ọkụkọ Tiwaraki, disclosed that prior to the incident, he received a call from a friend who informed him they were relaxing at his hotel and had spent over N300,000.
According to him, the person wanted him present so that he could subsidise their expenses.
He added that as he left his house for the hotel, he heard gunshots some minutes after he arrived at his hotel.
He said the criminals shot at him when he came out, but the bullets did not penetrate his body. He said that his two security aides were killed.
Nwangwu said he was forced by the kidnappers into their vehicle and driven away. He said he decided not to resist in order to prevent more loss of lives.
“I joined them to save lives of people in my hotel. I would have disappeared but if I did, it would have triggered more killings. I followed them to save lives,” Akwa said.
He also debunked claims of being abducted because he was owing someone. The native doctor also said that he was not abducted because he did evil to someone.
“I was with my captors hearing news that I was owing some people being the reason I was abducted.
“I am a rich man and if I was owing anybody I was equal to the task to pay the person back his or her money.
“The gunmen told me the reason they came to my hotel but certainly not for me. I only followed them to save lives of my people and customers”, he said.
