Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Kidnappers of the mother of the Coordinating Minister of the Economy for the Federation and the Minister of Finance, Dr. Mrs Nngozi Okonjo-Iweala have reduced their ransom money from the reported N1billion (US dollars) to N200million.
Interestingly, the people of Nigeria never got such a bargain from the government when it increased fuel from N67 to N141 in January and only later reduced same to N97.
For reducing the required ransom from N1billion to N200 million, the kidnappers seem to suggest that they are more humane than the federal government.
The Nijalundit earlier reported that “the kidnappers of the mother of the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, have reduced the ransom for the release of the victims mother from 1 billion Naira to 200 million Naira as negotiations have commenced between the Okonjo royal family of Ogwashi-uku and the kidnappers of Professor Kanenne Okonjo.
The negotiations are ongoing between the oldest son of the kidnapped royal, Onyema Okonjo, who has relocated to Ogwashi-Uku due to the kidnap of his mother, the queen of Ogwashi-uku.
Information reveals that Onyeame had spoken with his mother on Monday and the family may be putting resources together to come up with the money demanded.
Meanwhile 2 police men have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping. Their identities have not been released but it is suspected that they are the policemen attached to the palace where the victim resided.
Also, the Senate President, David Mark, has made a passionate personal appeal to the kidnappers to release the aged royal. In his appeal, David Mark urged the kidnappers to consider the biblical injunction that “we should honour our parents and, by extension, those who are old enough to be our parents.”
