Although the service had finished, Friday pleaded with his newly made foreign acquaintance to give him something from the church he could take with him for the journey.

he continued. Arriving back home, Friday’s wife told him to promise her that he would keep the ‘sticker’ which bore the message around his neck next to his ID card at all times during the journey as she didn’t want to end up a widow.

Arriving at the military camp in Gwoza on Monday heavily armed, two days of training exercises were conducted hitch-free. “

According to Omereji, the policemen saw a helicopter hovering over their area on an apparent surveillance mission later on that day. They reported to their seniors but were told not to be alarmed.

Friday recalled the hellish incident:

He quickly remembered his wife’s words and clutched the Anointing Sticker he kept around his neck. Bullets were raining around him but surprisingly none hit.

The wall was higher than an ordinary jump could reach by human capacity.

However, the danger was far from over. As Friday began to run, he heard the sound of yet more heavy artillery. People to his left and right were collapsing but the policeman kept running. Miraculously, he escaped to safety.
