July 28, 2019 3:36 PM

Almost two weeks after Beauty Siasia, mother of former Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia was abducted, the kidnappers are yet to release the 76-year-old woman and two other women kidnapped along with her. Beauty was kidnapped on the night of July 15, 2019, by unknown gunmen at her Odoni family compound in the Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. The kidnappers were said to have come around 2 am and fled into the creeks through River Nun. According to Punch, the kidnappers have already contacted the family of their victims to demand ransoms. However, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Uche Anozia, when he visited the scene of the abduction said that the police have deployed their marine unit to comb the creeks and rescue the victims. He said, “We have deployed the police marine component in the creeks in the area. The command will continue to work hard to take control of the marine landscape in the state.” CTA: How would you rate government on its effort to tackle kidnapping in Nigeria?
