ABDUCTION OF PROF MRS OKONJO
Earlier today, Professor (Mrs) Kamene Okonjo, wife of Professor Chukuka
Okonjo, the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku and mother of the Coordinating Minister
for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was
abducted from her home in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State.
At this
point, it is difficult to say whether those behind this action are the
same people who have made threats against the Coordinating Minister in
the recent past or other elements with hostile motives.
No possibility can be ruled out at this point.
This is obviously a very difficult time for the entire Okonjo. But the
family is hopeful of a positive outcome as it fervently prays for the
quick and safe return of the matriarch.
