Buchi Atuonwu, widely known as Buchi, a popular gospel singer, has shared a remarkable testimony of how he narrowly escaped death from a firing squad and found redemption through faith in God. During an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief program, Buchi recounted the harrowing experience that led him to call upon God for deliverance.
“At a point in my life, we were lined up for execution. Indeed, the people who were to execute us were already kneeling, ready to fire. It is true that I called out to a God that I didn’t know, saying if you save me, I will serve you,” Buchi recounted, emphasizing the desperation that led him to make a promise to dedicate his life to serving God.
Reflecting on his journey of faith and transformation, Buchi expressed gratitude for his miraculous deliverance from death. “He saved me from that firing squad. Then I devoted my life to serving him,” he affirmed, highlighting his commitment to using his music as a platform to inspire positive change and uplift others.
Buchi’s unique background, encompassing experiences as a night club DJ, university lecturer, and choir member, has profoundly influenced his style of music and message. “My kind of music has to be somewhat different,” he remarked, attributing his eclectic blend of influences to his desire to make a positive impact and address societal issues through his songs.
