Ngozi Okonjo’s mum- Prof Kamene

Gunmen, yesterday Sunday 9th
December, 2012, raised the stake when they abducted the mother of
the Minister of Finance, Prof. Okonjo-Iweala, Professor Kamene Okonjo, in
Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State.

Okonjo-Iweala’s mother, 82, who is the wife of the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku
Kingdom, Professor Chukwuka Aninshi Okonjo Agbogidi, was kidnapped yesterday at
about 1:30 pm at the husband’s
palace in Ogbe-Ofu quarters by eight gunmen who stormed the palace in two Audi
80 cars.

It was gathered that
the kidnappers had easy access to the palace as the policeman expected to be on
duty was absent. The kidnappers, therefore, held all the workers carrying out
renovation work at gunpoint. One of the suspects was said to have gone upstairs
and picked the bag of the Obi’s wife while the woman, who was sitting under a
tree after serving the workers some soft drinks, was whisked away.
The kidnappers that abducted the 82 year-old
mother of Nigeria’s
Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala have contacted the
family, demanding for a whopping $1 billion ransom.The demand for a $1billion
ransom was relayed to the family of the octogenarian
The family is yet to react to the ransom
demanded but $1billion is definitely a large amount.
