A former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia on Friday begged the kidnappers of his 80-year-old mother, Madam Beauty Ogere to release her unconditionally.
Igbere TV reports that Ogere, one Florence Donana, 66 and her 17-year-old daughter were abducted on July 15 at their apartments in Odoni community, Sagbama Local Government Area, by unknown gunmen.
Igbere TV learnt that the kidnappers reportedly established contact with Siasia’s family and demanded N70m to release their victim.
But Siasia, who spoke on telephone, Friday, begged the kidnappers to set his mother free unconditionally.
The ex coach, who is currently out of the country, said his cousin spoke with the kidnappers, who demanded the ransom.
He, however, said he was currently out of job and did not have such money to pay as ransom.
He appealed to the kidnappers to set his mother free because of her old age and failing health.
He said: “…To the kidnappers, I just want to say please, release her. I beg you. The woman is old please release her. I don’t have a job in the last three years. She is an old woman, with this cold, she may not survive it. I dont have that kind of money you are asking for.”
