John Arum Azi Testimony
He said he initially denied Christ because he was afraid of dêath. Out of fear, he told the kidappers he was a pagan, thinking they would release him.🙏
However, the bañdits replied that they preferred Christians to idol worshippers, which left him confused at that moment.😳
When the kidappers started beating him, he shouted “Jesus!” and finally told them the truth that he was a Christian. From then on, they kept calling him pastor 😊😊
Here is what actually happened:
The kidappers were the ones who contacted him. At first, he thought it was a referral from someone who wanted him for a job. When he got to Zaria, the kidappers directed him to a park where they would meet. When he finally met the man, the man confirmed he was the person he had been speaking with on the phone.🙏
The man told him he got his number from someone and wanted John to do some work for him, and John agreed.💯✅😊
Later, they claimed they were going somewhere by motorcycle and took him to another location. At that moment, he became very scared because another man arrived carrying a guñ he had never seen before.😳💔🤦
They then covered his face with a mask and transported him from Kaduna for about six hours to Zamfara State.
The kidappers kept asking him whether he had influential connections in Jos, but he told them he came from a poor background and had nobody to help him. He explained that he was the one providing food for his family.🤦
The kidappers then demanded his father phone number, but John gave them his brother’s number because his father was late.
That was how the negotiation began from ₦30 million down to ₦6 million.
However, when the ₦6 million was finally raised, the kidappers changed the agreement and demanded an additional ₦4 million.💔💔🤦
With the help of God and the support of good people who contributed, the extra ₦4 million was raised and sent to them.
Eventually, he was released, Honestly the Lord is good.💯😊😊🙏
