The kidnapped
mother of Delta Central Senatorial Candidate in the April polls on
platform of the PDP, Ighoyota Amori, has been released.

The
Ninety-six-year old Obereyibo Amori was abducted Thursday last week at
Ugokpa, Mosogar in Ethiope West Local Government Area. A family source
said her captors dropped her at about 4pm on Monday in front of the
country home of Mr Amori in Mosogar.

The source, who
spoke on condition of anonymity, said no ransom was paid for the
release of Mrs Amori whose freedom from her captors threw the Mosogar
community into celebration. It was also gathered that she was not
harmed by the kidnappers, just as our source also said that she was
well taken care.

The source said her captors took her in a speedboat to a swamp, where she was kept before her release.

Ethiope West
Council Chairman, Wilson Omene in a telephone chat yesterday confirmed
the release and expressed gratitude to God that the old woman was not
hurt by those who abducted her.

The kidnappers had
allegedly demanded that Mr Amori drop from the senatorial race and also
pay the sum of N100 million before setting eyes on his mother again.
