MAMA RELEASED FINALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY.
My dear brethren,
You will recall that my mother - Mrs Ibiwari Brown (over 76yrs old)
was kidnapped on the 18th of June, 2009 at about 9pm from her home in
Abalama, Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State. Those who
did the act were not known. The security went to work to ensure her
release, the media went work to condemn the act and called for her
unconditional release, friends called to sympathize with the family,
the Church sent delegation to God in Heaven and they were received by
Jesus Christ who spoke on their behalf, the traditional rulers also
frowned at it.
Two months after, nothing was heard except that the kidnappers asked
for my head or the sum of N30m to get her released. This was not
forthcoming. The kidnappers resorted to torture this old woman. she
was flogged several times like a common criminal. From 18th June to
22nd August she had no water to bath. Her room was her toilet and she
was fed with Indomie once a day. The ration was not enough to feed a
3yr old child. The treatment became worse when they realized that they
had 'invested in a bad market'. The food ration changed and mama cried
and begged them for food. when food was no more available to her, she
would bless the glass of water given to her before drinking it. That
serves as food and her hunger will be satisfied. I wish you have the
opportunity to hear this testimony directly from her.
Being frustrated, mama attempted to escape from this men on the 2nd of
August, 2009 at about 10pm. She went to a nearby fishing settlement
and asked help to see the Head of the settlement but no one was
willing to assist. She was recaptured by the morning of 3rd August,
2009 and took her back to the camp. They agreed that she will be
killed and so she was moved to their shrine and hit her face hardly
with the palm. She was then blindfolded and was ready to kill her when
suddenly my call went through to them and they suspended the action.
At that time she was already on the ground in front of the shrine as a
sacrificial animal almost dead. They then called back and told me that
she was dead and gave me the option of coming to carry her corpse or
permitting her burial. when they went back few hours later perhaps to
bury her, she was found alive and crying like a baby. She was taken
back to her room and permanently lucked up.
On Friday 21st, inst. they decided to let mama free. On their way the
speed boat had an accident. It was in the night. She was left in the
mangroove till the 22nd. She was moved from there to a fishing
settlement at a place called 'Namasibi' around the New Calabar River.
The inhabitants were afraid initially but when she explained the
circumstance and introduced herself, they mobilized and moved her to
Abalama, her home town in Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers
State.
Permit me to use this opportunity to thank you specially for your
concern. You have indeed proved a sense of brother hood and your
support and encouragement will remain indelible.
