Police in Bayelsa say they are still investigating the kidnap of the mother of former Nigeria international, Samson Siasia.

Bayelsa police spokesman, Asinim Butswat, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday that rescue efforts were still on.

“Yes, investigation is on-going to rescue the victims,” Mr Butswat said via a text message.

Beauty Siasia, 79, has now been in her captors’ hands for two weeks after she was kidnapped on July 15 with two others in Odoni community, Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa.

The septuagenarian was kidnapped with a woman, Florence Douanana, 65, and her 17-year-old daughter, Selekire Douanana.

The Commissioner of Police, Uche Anozia, had visited the scene of the kidnap twice and deployed police marines to comb the creeks of the area in search of the abducted victims.
