Chidozie Nwangwu, a well-known native doctor from Anambra, widely known as “Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki,” has revealed that he possessed the means to resist his abduction but consciously decided against it.
Nwangwu was kidnapped and later released after being held captive for several days.
In his account of the incident, he explained that he willingly surrendered himself to the abductors to avert additional casualties, as two of his bodyguards had already been killed during the kidnapping.
The ordeal began when he received a call that someone was spending money at his hotel and wished for his presence.
Nwangwu went to the hotel alone in his new car, and shortly after his arrival, gunfire erupted, causing chaos and panic among people present.
Despite having the option to escape, he chose to remain with the abductors to prevent further bloodshed. He believed that if he fled, many others would have been killed.
By staying with them, he sought to demonstrate his innocence and avoid false accusations that he was involved with the kidnappers.
Nwangwu emphasized that he neither took people’s money nor played any role in the abduction attempts, which were allegedly linked to the sit-at-home exercise in the South-East region.
