Nigerian reggae Gospel musician, Buchi Atuonwu, has recalled how he was miraculously saved from firing squad execution.
The singer revealed that he was lined up for execution
alongside others but he made a vow to serve God if he saved him and he was
miraculously saved.
During a recent interview with Channels TV, Buchi disclosed
that he was involved in vices that led him to be lined up for execution.
He said, “Coming from a peculiar background; a nightclub DJ
and at the same time a university lecturer and transiting to the choir of
churches, and having been involved in the campus confraternity, drug abuse, and
youth violence, my music has to be somewhat different. Influenced by that
background and also with an intention to make a change.
“So all those escapades led me to the stories that manured
the kind of songs I put out; gun-running, violence. I recently published a book
titled ‘My Weed And I.’ It talks about what weed could do to the mind of a
growing child and indeed adults as well.
“At a point in my life, we were lined up for execution. The
people who were to execute us were already kneeling before us ready to fire. I
called out to a God that I did know, ‘If you save me, I will serve you.’ Since
we don’t have all the time, let me just say that he saved me from that firing
squad. And I devoted my life to serving him.”
