Nigerian Gospel musician, Buchi Atuonwu, shared his remarkable story of escaping execution by a firing squad.
In a recent interview with Channels TV, Buchi revealed that his past involvement in vices, including drug abuse and youth violence, led to his near-death experience.
He stated, "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."
Buchi continued, "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."

He then recounted his miraculous escape, saying, "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."
