There are, as yet unconfirmed, stories that one of the hostages abducted from Eket, a British employee of Sparrows, has died, possibly of malaria, in captivity. Those who abducted him, were responsible for him whilst he was held by them
.
My sympathy goes out to his family, and I just hope and pray that the families of the remaining 6 captives will soon have better news and be reunited.
