The Bayelsa State Police Command have launched manhunt for the gunmen who kidnapped 80-year-old Ogere Beauty Siasia, the mother of Nigerian footballer and coach, Samson Siasia.

Recall that 15 July 2019, unknown gunmen who were heavily armed came through the waterways of the River Nun and invaded the residence of Mrs Beauty Siasia in the riverine village of Odoni, Sagbama Local Government Area, Bayelsa State and whisked her away through the waterways to an unknown destination.

Spokesperson of the command SP Asinim Butswat, who confirmed the development in a statement on Monday, said the Commissioner of Police Bayelsa State command CP Uche Anozia and the command’s Tactical Team has visited the scene of the crime.

“The command in collaboration with other security stakeholders have launched a manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators and rescue the victim. Investigation is ongoing” he added.

Two other persons were also said to have been abducted alongside Mrs Siasia.

This comes barely four years after she was abducted and millions paid a ransom for her release.
