The abductors of Samson Siasia’s mother, Ogere, have finally made contacts the Dream Team VI coach.
Siasia hinted that the kidnappers got in touch with him in the wee hours of Tuesday and were demanding for N150 million as ransom.
He said: “Yes, they want N150million. That’s crazy. Where would I get such huge amount of money from? I don’t have money. They should consider the state of her health and release her.”
Siasia, who is with the Dream Team VI in Gambia on a 10-day training, said he remained resolute to pick a qualifying ticket to Rio 2016 Olympics.
He said: “It is trying time but I’m remain focused on doing our country proud in Senegal when the U23 African Nations Cup finally kicks off.
“We have continued with our sessions and the boys are raring to go in the tournament.”
Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State Police Command has launched a full scale investigation to track down the abductors and also bring them to book.
Madam Ogere, 72, was abducted on Sunday in Odoni village, Bayelsa State by three men on a motorbike.
She was the only one at home taking care of her husband, who is visually impaired, when she was abducted.
