We learnt the aged woman( Queen of Ogwashi-Uku kingdom) was kidnapped by 8 gunmen at about 1:30pm on Sunday afternoon at her hubby’s residence located in Ogbe-Ofe quarters in Ogwashi Uku area of Delta State.
The gunmen stormed the palace in 2 Audi cars.
Ngozi Iweala’s mother , Prof. Kamene Okonjo is a medical doctor who is married to a popular monarch (traditional ruler), Professor Chukwuka Aninshi Okonjo Agbogidi in Ogwashi-Uku kingdom. She is 82-year-old.
Delta State Police spokesman, Charles Muka who confirmed her abduction said: “Yes, we (police) have got the information on the kidnap and we have also got information that will lead to the arrest of the hoodlums,”
Following her kidnap, security has been tightened in the palace and Delta State police officials have launched a manhunt for her kidnappers.

We hope for her safe return.

All of you, Franklin, Jossy and Abiodun, you all are very stupid. Somebody’s life is at stake all you care about is for her daughter to find money and settle the kidnappers, maybe you all are related to the kidnappers. Are you such fools? I was expecting you idiots to say that you wish these hoodlums will be caught and soon instead of talking ransome money. I just pray the authorities apprehend these people very soon.

Ugochi,God bless you. People have lost their conscience. All that matters to them is money even at the detriment of their fellow man’s life.
I pray that those hoodlums be caught and the old woman rescued. In Jesus name. Amen.

For you out there that support the kidnappers,may the hoodlum kidnap your mother or father if you still havea and demand for five thousand naira since you are so poor that you think those that had labour for their money should suffer .the psychological torture ,embarasment ,think of the age of this woman,82yrs may the perpetrators.die young and know no peace except they repent.amen

all finger are not —? cos we all can be rich,so they work for their money all well educated human,proffessors, so go to school and be hard working.u can kidnapp people just becoause u are poor and they are rich. after all is now full time job, for nigeria people to kidnapp,not doing it once and use the money to start business,they do and on do it,till end up in jail and property distroy.

Before we came to this world, we were prepared to fight a Battle be it physical or spiritual or even ethereal..It is not surprise that some humans survives by hunting their fellow species.How will i be surprise when Nigeria’s shambolic systematic management, political inaptitiude, and unseriouse security system-setup have become a natural waterloo and demonic transaction approach in nature.
SOLUTION: Government rebalous kankaworms occupying public/masses representative sits using the opportunity to launder Nigerian’s citizens economy for their selfish auto-bunkumbe interest should provide EMPLOYMENT to ameliorate this outstanding problem ‘INSECURITY’.

My prayer is that this old woman returns to the family home unhurt and soon too. This very family as everybody can attest, made their own wealth on a clean slate and as such should be allowed to enjoy their sweat. we know those of us who are stealing our national cake and i dare these kidnappers to go after them if that is the only option available for making their daily bread. May God have mercy on us.
