Mr. Dennis Siasia, the younger brother to former Coach of the Super Eagles, Samson Siasia has confirmed the abduction of their 76 years old mother, Madam Ogere Siasia at her residence in Odoni community of Sagbama Local Government council of Bayelsa State.
According to him, the kidnappers whisked away their aged mother without her Blood Pressure drugs and mobile phone.
The incident, which occurred during the early hours of Monday shocked the community as two other family members, madam Florence Dounana, 65 years, and her daughter, Selekere Dounana, 17 years, were also kidnapped.
Mr. Siasia told DAILY POST on telephone that the abductor of their mother took her away without her Blood Pressure drugs and noted that the inability of their mother to remember phone numbers off-hand may have slowed down contacts from her abductors.
“Yes, the abductors have not contacted the family. We have reported to the Police. She was taken away without her drugs and phone. Even if they ask her for our numbers, she would not be able to help because she cannot recall mobile numbers. We are full of prayers and hoping she would be released soon.”
DAILY POST also learnt that in recent times, the activities of suspected kidnappers between the Agbere and Odoni area of Sagbama have been worrisome with the abduction of the father of the owner of a popular hang out in the state capital.
Community sources confirmed that aside from Siasia’s mother, two other women were also abducted including the mother of the owner of a Local Mortuary Services firm in the area known as “Do NaNa”.
It would be recalled that Siasia’s mother had been kidnapped in November 2015, and released 12 days after a reported payment of N.6million to the kidnappers.
According to the Bayelsa state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Asimin Butswat, on 15 July, 2019 at about 0200hours, unknown gunmen who were heavily armed came through the waterways of the River Nun and invaded the residence of one Mrs Beauty Siasia, ‘f’ 80 years in the riverine village of Odoni, Sagbama Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, and whisking her away through the waterways to an unknown destination.
