He stated that viewers would see the bandit lifting the mobile device in the last second of the stream, leading him to believe that the attacker might have been responsible for removing the livestream from the platform.

He disclosed that he had downloaded the clip straight from the live broadcast, which was why he still had access to it, and added that he continued to hope for the safe return of the livestreamer and the other victims.

He said he had sent a message in an attempt to reach him but discovered shortly afterwards that the account had been disabled.

According to him, the only reason the video remained available to him was because it had been saved in the cache of his laptop while he was in class, preventing him from doing anything with it at the time.

He explained that, not long after sending the message, he realised the account had been deleted.

He added that he planned to make further enquiries, but each attempt to reopen the profile showed that it no longer loaded.

He ended by appealing to anyone who knew Dare Daniel in Eruku, noting that he had been inside the church when the attack occurred.

In his words:

"Check the last one second of that incident. We noticed the bandit picking up the phone. So he was probably the one who deleted that live stream. Because the video I shared, I downloaded direct from the live stream. Well, we continue to pray for him and for his safe return if he's still alive and all the other victims.
"Earlier today, I was very busy. I wanted to just share the video. Check the profile of the person I sent him the message, the person who made the live video of that attack at Eruku CAC church on November 18 in the evening. So it's a live video. So I messaged him, you know, eh just to try to get across to him. But now the account is disabled.
"But thankfully, this is still within my laptop cache because I was in the class when it happened eh, so I couldn't really do much with it. But this is the live video direct from the account that shared it, and now the account is no more. You know, shortly after I sent a message to the account, I found out that the account has been deleted. I will do more findings eh. If I click on it, you will see it's no longer available, it's not loading. Sadly."
