The mother of Nigeria’s Under-23 national team coach Samson Siasia has been released, after unidentified gunmen took her in captivity, 13 days ago.
Madam Beauty Siasia was seized by kidnappers on November 16, from her residence in Odoni community of Sagama Local Council Area of Bayelsa state.
The release of Madam Siasia was confirmed by the Bayelsa State police spokesman, Asinim Buswat, who revealed that she was dropped off on the highway of the East-West road in the wee hours of Saturday.
Buswat said: “Madam Beauty Siasia, who was abducted on November 16 2015, was abandoned by her abductors along the East-West Road, at about 0130hrs, 28 November 2015, due to hot pursuit by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Police Command.”
The Police spokesperson however, failed to disclose if any amount was paid as ransom for her release.
