Fellow missionaries describe how Ian Squire was gunned down in front of group by men who had kidnapped them in Delta stateA British charity worker kidnapped and held to ransom in Nigeria was shot dead moments after singing Amazing Grace to a group of missionary medics, it has emerged. The final moments of the life of Ian Squire were described by his fellow Christian missionaries David and Shirley Donovan, who were held alongside Squire and Alanna Carson after being abducted in the southern Delta state. Donovan told the Daily Telegraph how the group’s spirits were lifted when the kidnappers returned a guitar and Squire started to play Amazing Grace. We didn’t see who did it, but it was obvious that someone in the gang had shot him. The captives were freed after the kidnappers told them a ransom had been paid.
