HOME OF NAIJA TALK: We Will Soon Free Madam Siasia From Her Abductors - Arase

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon
Arase, has stated that his men are working round
the clock to seek the release of Madam Ogere
Siasia who is the mother of Nigerian ex-
international and coach, Samson Siasia.
Unknown gunmen stormed the home of the 72-
year-old mother at Odoni community of Sagama
Local Council Area of Bayelsa state yesterday
Tuesday November 17 2015 and abducted her.
Arase posited that the terrain in which the
abductors operate has been a major challenge his
men are facing.
Speaking in Ibadan, the IGP said: “The police are
working to ensure that the woman is released as
soon as possible. The difficulty we had initially is
the terrain in that area. Mostly, abductors come
through the riverine areas but we are working and
overcoming that and I can assure you that she will
be released very soon.”
Arase however revealed to the Oyo state governor,
Abiola Ajimobi, that he was in the state to
sensitise his men on the importance of community
partnership.
“I am here in the state to talk and discuss with my
officers that community partnership is the new
trend in policing the world over and that nothing
meaningful can be achieved without the
collaborative support of members of the
community at all levels.
“I want them to realise and see members of the
community as strategic and important partners to
successful community policing. More so, that they
must be human rights compliant and respect the
rule of law in the discharge of their duties by not
harming those they are supposed to protect,” the
police boss concluded.
