It’s 13 Days Today, Kidnappers Yet To Free Siasia’s Mother

Thirteen days after abducting 76-year-old Madam Beauty Siasia, mother of the ex-international star and former Super Eagles coach, Sampson Siasia, kidnappers are yet to set her free.

Mrs. Siasia was kidnapped at their Odoni family compound in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State by unknown gunmen on the night of Monday, July 15, 2019.

According to a family source who craved anonymity, the kidnappers have already contacted the family through a foreign phone number, demanding for a huge sum of money as ransom.

Aside from Mrs. Beauty Siasia, the kidnappers also abducted a 65-year-old woman, Mrs. Florence Douanana, and her 17-year-old daughter, Miss Selekire Douanana, who are still in the kidnapper’s den.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Uche Anozia, who visited the scene immediately after the news broke, deployed marine components of the force to comb the creeks of the area in search of the abducted victims. He said the command was doing everything possible for the victims to regain freedom. He said: “The police tactical team is working hard to rescue the victims. I am assuring the public and the relatives that no stone will be left unturned.

We have deployed the Marine component to the waterways in the area; the command will continue to work hard to take control of the marine landscape in the state. “You know Bayelsa is 80 percent water and that means, our operations are mainly focusing on waterways.” There has been apprehension in the community as most people and family members are worried about what the abductors are really up to. Daily Trust on Sunday gathered that some persons have started moving their elderly relatives out of the community.
