Ngozi Okonjo Iweala- My mother suffered at the hands of her kidnappers

After thanking Nigerians, the government and the Police, she also narrates how her mother suffered in the hands of her kidnappers for 5 days. Thank God mama is back.

I can’t give all the details because we don’t want to compromise on-going investigations.
But I can tell you one thing, My mother suffered a great deal during this ordeal. It was only the Almighty God that rescued her from a situation that could very easily have ended tragically.

Apart from the emotional trauma of being violently taken away from her family and kept incommunicado for five days in a strange environment, a woman of 83 years was left without food for five days.

We give glory to God that she is alive today to tell the tale.

While she was in their custody, the kidnappers spent much of the time harassing her. They told her that I must get on the radio and television and announce my resignation.

When she asked why, they told her it was because I did not pay “Oil subsidy money”.
