Samson Siasia our Chief Coach of Dream Team VI, told
NationSport that the Siasia family is still negotiating with the kidnappers of
his mother Madam Beauty Ogere Siasia as they are still insisting on the N150
million they have asked for.
According to source this are statements from the coach-
siasia who couldn't hide his emotions in a statement said
that he is gradually losing hope on the release of his mother since those who
are supposed to take the matter very seriously have not even deemed it fit to
contact him or his family on the issue.
"My friend as I speak with you my faith in getting my
mother released from the kidnappers' den but my hope is fast diminishing
because those that are supposed to handle the matter since I am on national
duty seems not to show concerned at all.
"My family contact that is discussing with the
kidnappers is still discussing with them and they have not changed their
position on the N150 million ransom request. But all my hope is in God Almighty
to touch the hearts of the kidnappers to free my mum.
"My State government has not said anything about the
matter and the worst scenario is that the National Sports Commission, led by
the Minister of Youths and Sports Solomon Dalung and the Director General of
the NSC Mallam Al-Hassan Yakmut has not called me or any member of my family to
identify with us in this our trying period. I am not happy at all. It is very
sad", Siasia told NationSport yesterday morning from Gambia .
"I have not yet had anything from the Federal
Government on what they are trying to do to rescue my mother. At least
everybody knows that I am on national duty and I am very worried about my
mother while here in Gambia .
I have not heard anything and I want to know what they are doing on my behalf",
Siasia cried out.
Samson Siasia's younger brother Moses Siloko Siasia who is
also one of the Governorship candidates for the forthcoming Bayelsa
State
"The Governor of Bayelsa State Seriake Dickson has not
called any member of the family nor any of his aides have done so at least to
show love, affection and identify with us and also proffer ways of solving this
problem. It's only the DSS (Department of Stare Services) that have come to our
aid that have been assisting us", the People's Democratic Movement
Gubernatorial flag bearer for Bayelsa also disclosed.
