It’s been three days since the kidnap of Prof. Kanene Okonjo, mother of Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Dr.Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and media reports have said that negotiations have begun with the kidnappers.
The kidnappers demanded $1 billion ransom for her release, they have however reduced the ransome to N200 million
Security sources said Onyema who's th mama's Eldest son , however, insisted on speaking with his mother to ascertain the state of her health and to be sure that he was not dealing with impostors before he could negotiate with the abductors.
After he had spoken with his mother, whom sources said was alive and well despite the trauma, the kidnappers changed their demand by asking Okonjo-Iweala to bring the money the Federal Government had recovered from oil marketers who had abused the fuel subsidy scheme
The 82 year-old woman was abducted on Sunday 9th December 2012, at the gate of the palace of the traditional ruler of Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State, Prof. Chukwuka Okonjo, who is her husband.
We only hope and pray the aged woman is released soon and in good health too.
