ABUJA, July 16 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Gunmen have kidnapped Beauty Siasia, 75, the mother of former Nigeria national football coach, Samson Siasia.
She was taken in her village in Bayelsa state, southern Nigeria, in the early hours of Monday.
A family member said the men broke in through the back door of the apartment to grab Beauty Siasia. He said they had not heard from her kidnappers and have reported the incident to the police.
