The 82-year old mother
of the Finance Minister,
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Prof. Kamene Okonjo, has been released five days after
she was kidnapped by unknown gunmen from her home in Ogbe-Ofu quarters, Ogwashi
-Uku, Aniocha south local government area of Delta state.
Dr Okonji-Iweala's spokesman confirmed her mother's release in a
statement. See it below...
“I can confirm that
Professor Mrs. Kamene Okonjo, wife of the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku, Professor Chukuka
Okonjo and mother of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy/Minister of
Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was released this morning, five days after her
abduction.The Okonjo Family is full of thanks to the Almighty for this happy
development. The family is also highly appreciative of the support and
encouragement of President Goodluck Jonathan; the Country’s security services
for their excellent operations; Governors Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta, Peter Obi
of Anambra, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers and other Governors…"
Na wahh, only 5 days and she was released, just because she is the
mother of a minister, a highly placed
personel in Nigerian government, I bet if it were any other person they
would have paid a ransome, that is if they did not pay and cover it up, cause
this opur Nigerian government can do anything these days including negotiating
with criminals.
God have mercy on us all in that country in
Jesus names
