‘I Heard a Voice at 2AM’ — Reggae Legend Buchi Reveals Why He Left Cult Life for Christ

Renowned Nigerian reggae icon, Buchi Atuonwu, has for the first time publicly shared the chilling moment that led him to abandon cultism and embrace Christianity.

In a candid interview on Black Flame, Buchi opened up about his spiritual awakening, revealing that his departure from the cult world was triggered by a divine encounter. According to him, everything changed the moment he met Jesus and became born again.

“Jesus gave me a new understanding,” Buchi said. “He showed me the true nature of cultism—it wasn’t just a physical brotherhood; it was deeply spiritual. You can’t fight spiritual battles with physical weapons.”

Buchi recalled a haunting experience from his past when he was performing in the early hours of the morning, surrounded by eerie imagery. “We were marching and singing around 2 a.m., while some people carried coffins on their heads, others held red lamps,” he said. “Then, a voice whispered in my ear, ‘You don’t belong here.’ I ignored it, but the voice came again—and that’s when the trouble began.”

Following that moment, Buchi said his life took a chaotic turn, as he began running from rival cults and law enforcement. His eventual decision to follow Christ, he says, not only gave him peace but also saved his life.
