Akwa stated that when he set out for his hotel, he heard gunshots; when he arrived, some shot at him, but the bullet did not penetrate, and his two security aides were killed.
Why I didn’t disappear
Akwa said:
“I joined them to save lives of people in my hotel. I would have disappeared but if I did, it would have triggered more killings. I followed them to save lives.”
The celebrity native doctor said his abductors told him why they stormed his hotel, but it was never for him.
He said:
“I was with my captors hearing news that I was owing some people being the reason I was abducted.
“I am a rich man and if I was owing anybody I was equal to the task to pay the person back his or her money.
“The gunmen told me the reason they came to my hotel but certainly not for me. I only followed them to save lives of my people and customers.”
