“I don’t know why they keep kidnapping me. Only God knows,” mama sobbed as tears dripped down her wrinkled face”.
Mama, as she is fondly called, lamented that she had been kidnapped twice saying that her abductors on the two occasions told her that her son, Siasia is a millionaire.
She said after whisking her away to an unknown place, her assailants fed her with garri and bought drugs for her. “I was sick and they bought the drugs. They cooked and gave to me”.
“They didn’t beat me. There were days that there was no food. Those days they drank garri and gave me garri to drink too”.
“Sometimes, they cooked soup, prepare garri and we ate. But on Sunday, they told me we had stayed for too long and they were tired of our problem”.
“They carried us on a flying boat and dropped us in a village. I don’t know the name of the village. The carried us to their chairman place. I don’t even know the man. They called Seifa and Seifa came”.
“As I am talking to you, I am not well. Before they took me I was not well. I want to go to the hospital. They built small house and use tarpaulin to cover the top. That was where they kept us,” the woman said.
The 76-year old mother of former player and coach of the Super Eagles Samson Siasia was released alongside a seventeen year old girl and man who was held by the kidnappers after an initial attempt to negotiate their release.
