Gospel artiste Buchi recounts experience with Assassins

Nigerian gospel musician Buchi Atuonwu has opened up about a harrowing encounter with death that forever changed the course of his life, dispelling recent rumors of his demise.

In an exclusive interview with Channels Television, the poetic evangelist recounted a near-fatal incident where he narrowly escaped execution by firing squad, describing it as a pivotal moment of spiritual awakening.

Atuonwu vividly recalled the chilling moment when the executioners, poised to carry out the sentence, knelt before him with guns at the ready. Faced with imminent death, he reached out to a higher power, despite not having a personal relationship with God at the time.

“It is true that the people who were to execute us were already kneeling before us, ready to fire. It is true that I called out to a God I didn’t know. ‘If you save me, I’ll serve you’,” Buchi Atuonwu recounted, reflecting on the desperation of the moment.

In a remarkable turn of events, Atuonwu’s plea for divine intervention was answered, sparing him from the fate that awaited. This profound experience served as a catalyst for a newfound faith and purpose in life.

“It is true that he saved me from that firing squad, and I devoted my life to serving him,” Atuonwu affirmed, acknowledging the transformative power of his encounter with mortality.
