Former Super Eagles player and Nigeria’s Under 23 coach, Samson Siasia, can smile again. His mother, Mrs. Beauty Siasia, who was kidnapped about 2 weeks ago at Odoni, Sagbama LGA of Bayelsa State, has finally regained her freedom.
The 72 year old mother and grand mother tasted the sweet air of freedom today after 12 days in captivity. Her abductors abandoned her somewhere on East-West Road, from where she was rescued by men of the Anti Kidnapping Unit, Bayelsa State Police Command.
Jubilation has enveloped the Siasia household since the good news broke. Before that, her popular son, Samson had pleaded with the kidnappers to release her so that he could concentrate on his coaching job and win more laurels for the country.
No one also knows whether or not money eventually exchanged hands, as the kidnappers initially insisted on being paid some millions which Siasia told them he didn’t have.
