Kidnapped Sister Of Diezani Madueke Regains Freedom

The kidnapped sister of the Minister of Petroleum Resources Osio Agama, who was abducted last week in Port Harcourt, has regained her freedom following a joint operation by security forces.

“Osio Agama has been safely rescued during a joint operation by the police, military and SSS (State Security Service),” Rivers state police spokesman, Ahmad Muhammad told AFP.

Muhammad said two suspects had been arrested over the October 21 abduction of Agama, whose sister Diezani Alison-Madueke is the petroleum minister.

Muhammad did not say if ransom was paid for the release, the latest targeting relations of prominent Nigerians in recent months.
One of the most prominent cases came in December 2012, when Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's 82-year-old mother Kamene Okonjo was abducted from her home, in neighbouring Delta State.

Okonjo-Iweala and Alison-Madueke are widely seen as the two most powerful members of President Goodluck Jonathan's cabinet.
Jonathan's 70-year-old uncle was also kidnapped earlier this year in Bayelsa State, also in the Niger Delta.

Some have sought to attach a political motive to attacks targeting Nigeria's most powerful families.
