Nigerian gospel music icon, Buchi Atuonwu, has shared how he narrowly escaped death by firing squad, Okay.ng reports.
In a compelling interview on the Channels Television Morning Brief programme, the award-winning singer opened up about a traumatic experience that nearly cost him his life but ultimately strengthened his faith.
Recalling the chilling incident, Buchi revealed that he and others were lined up for execution, facing a firing squad with guns aimed at them.
However, in a moment of desperation, he cried out to God for help, making a solemn vow to dedicate his life to serving Him if he was spared from imminent death.
“At a point in my life, we were lined up for execution. It is true that the people that were to execute us were kneeling before us, ready to fire. I called out to a God that I didn’t know that if He saves me, I will serve him. He saved me from that firing squad, and I devoted my life to serving him,” Buchi recounted.
