His Eminence, Samuel Kanu-Uche, the Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, who was kidnapped by gunmen suspected of being kidnappers, has stated that the criminal elements were angry with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The preacher, who said the kidnappers showed him decaying remains of previous victims at a news conference in Lagos on Tuesday, disclosed that the youngsters are Fulani.
According to him, the intruders promised to eat the president if he fell into their hands, claiming that Buhari had failed them.

He said, “They even said that if they get Buhari, they will chew him to pieces because he had disappointed them.
“We were taken into the bush and we trekked up to 15 kilometres. Eventually at 11 pm, they said we should negotiate and each of us should pay N50m, making N150m”.
The guys eventually placed the ransom at N100 million, according to Kanu-Uche.
The clergyman informed reporters that he went out to church leaders and his wife to seek funds in every way possible to guarantee his release.
Kanu-Uche was abducted on his way to the airport on Sunday along the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway in the Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
