63 Arrested In Hunt For Abductors Of Okonjo-iweala's Mum by supereagle(m): 11:25pm On Dec 13, 2012
The Nigerian Army, on Thursday, said soldiers had arrested 63 people in raids as they searched for the finance minister's 82-year-old mother, kidnapped from her home on Sunday.

It is not yet known whether the abduction of Kamene Okonjo, mother of former World Bank director Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was political or for financial gain.

"Yesterday the Four Brigade raided Ogwashi-Ukwu in search of Mama," army spokeswoman Roseline Managbe said. "Those arrested are being questioned," she added.

Two policemen were also arrested this week on suspicion of aiding the kidnappers of Okonjo.

Managbe said two Lebanese men working for Nigerian construction company Setraco had been abducted on Tuesday in Delta state by gunmen who killed a soldier assigned to protect them.

Gangs operate throughout the Niger Delta, home to Africa's largest oil industry. Most people abducted are Nigerians but foreign oil and construction workers have also been frequent targets.

The finance minister, a campaigner against corruption, has received threats in the past, her special adviser Paul Nwabuikwu said on Sunday.

Is she the only one that has been kidnap in Nigeria?

Why are they acting like this is the first time someone will be kidnap?

How about other Nigerians that died in the hand of kidnappers?

Is one Nigerian superior to another?

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

The Army now executing policing duties
This is the clearest indication yet that Nigetia is finished

65 suspects been arrested is a pointer that this case is going nowhere

Also I flow with Olumide's line of thought regarding NOI kidnapping her mother
I know it sounds far fetched& absurd but the so called cabal members we've seen exposed are closely associated with the ruling party& ebele himself
NOI keeps saying the cabal is after her yet they dine with her boss
Hmnn!

What is this? Please stop intimidating, harrasing, bullying, innocent citizens.I thought you're an intelligent woman.How could solidiers go about messing up the society in the name of trapping perpetrators down.This is bad. Ngozi release your mother and stop this arrant mess.So the abductors of the woman will be foolish enough to still remain anywhere in Delta state.I don't think so.This is a fruitless search period.

The slogan "Injury to one is injury to all" used in my days in university is very apt in this situation. If this kind of force was unleashed when this nuisance hit our landscape, we wouldn't be talking about this. I hope we as a people have finally woken up. We should as a duty to our future generations ensure that all forms of criminality are nipped in the bud regardless of who is affected. Let's not wait until someone influential is affected before we call in the troops. Rarely do evil things assume gigantic proportions at once; in most cases, they start like a spark and if encouraged overtly or covertly, grow to become a fire that may burn all in sight.

Good effort. However, may I warn the security agencies that should anything happen to that woman, they will know that egbe and e'gbe are not the same thing. That woman is from my town in Delta State. She was about to flag off a major project in my town, Obomkpa, BEFORE this abduction took place.That project must take off ooo. I seriously don't understand how some kidnappers would just have entered the palace and wisk the woman away like that. I smell rat in this whole

Only in Nigeria, will 63 citizens get arrested and detained without evidence nor warrants.

Is Okonjo's mother the 1st kidnap case?

Karma is at play - " what goes around comes around".

The blood of the murdered youths during the *(subsidy protests)* will never stop haunting Okonjo & her gang. of FRESH AIR wolves.

**to the Kidnappers, more of this kind of Kidnapping please** wink
