Speaking to the media on the incident, a distraught Siasia has
expressed his confusion at the occurrence of the event. Siasia said:
“Right now I am confused, from the story I got, three men on motorbike
stormed my parents’ house in my village Odoni in Bayelsa State, shot
sporadically into the air before taking my old mother away on a bike.
“What do they expect from me? I don’t have money, I am right now on
national duty, and need all the time to concentrate on this very
important national task. So, I beg them to please release my mother so
that I can concentrate on this task of qualifying the U-23 National Team
for the men’s football event of the Rio Olympics.”
