Abduction
Chronicles by Folarin Philip Banigbe relates a touching, spine-tingling,
non-fiction account of his own abduction experience. Touching, this novel will
captivate you as the author relates each encounter as he was abducted from his
home in the middle of the night in his home country, Nigeria.
He narrates the
book and speaks of the events and his thoughts during the ordeal that paint a
vivid picture, giving readers an inside view of the home invasion that
quickly became life-threatening. Taken by thugs, forced to endure and overcome
exposure to elements, lack of food and harsh weather, his abduction shares how
God encountered him in his darkest moments. Triumphant, he came back from the
evil of perpetrators seeking money to re-tell the truth of what really happened
during his days gone missing.
Beginning
his narrative of the moments when robbers cut into iron bars to get into the home, the author’s account is a minute-by-minute thrill ride. Readers will find
themselves asking, what would I do in such a situation, faced with a Ak-47 and
no weapons for defense? The author’s quick thinking throughout his
abduction makes for a fast-paced and compelling read. In a unique fashion, he
blends his prayers and thoughts to God, coupled with the Holy Spirit’s workings
within the ordeal.
Author quote; "Spiritual
insights into this abduction include: core values of The Full Gospel - Jesus
and the salvation He brings, the Holy Ghost, the Voice of God, visions and
dreams, and the Power of God to save and deliver."
As
an added bonus, the author’s wife and daughter give their own accounts of the
home invasion and days waiting for the author’s return. Intense moments are
captured as the wife shares dialogue through phone calls and demands for ransom
money that made each day’s dealings with Folarin’s captor’s delicate. Despite
the raging emotions, Folarin’s wife gives thanks to God who gave her the peace
and strength to survive the barrage of emotions a wife might have for her
husband.

Philip Banigbe has come out of the ordeal a better man, teaching others to help
abduction victims through his foundation. A wonderful read.
