"Kill Me, Spare My Son"- Abducted Delta lawmaker’s Octogenarian Mother Shocks Kidnappers

“They said they kidnapped me because of my son (Hon. Preyor) and they wanted him to come for me.”
“They also wanted me to call my son to come for my rescue, but I refused. They often threatened to kill me if he fail to come but I told them that my son would not come for me.
“They raged against me when I refused to do their bidding, marching violently on my legs in response. Sometimes they would walk violently on the raft floor where I was kept, asking me the whereabouts of my son.
“Some other times, they would tell me that my son had come for me and he is already in the forest, threatening to kill him when he is in sight,”

“When they would threaten to kill my son, I would plead with them not to do so, rather I offered myself to them to be killed, pleading that he is my only son. When I said that, they would rage on me the more, asking me if I did not see their sufferings, sleeping on the bare floor”

“The mosquitoes too were unbearable, coupled with the discomfort arising from the raft floor which they often come during my sleeping hours to walk on violently, moving up and down in order to disturb my sleep, maybe, in response to deadlocked negotiations with my son.
“Then, I would ask God, is this how You want me to die? They would often wake me up in my sleeping hours in the night, scaring me with funny tales, as well as asking me silly questions,”

“On the aspect of food, I would say they fed me well and I praised them for the care, though under their captivity. At a time I managed to take off some of my clothes to wash, the girls among them would help me to do the washing.“They also took the money that was with me during my abduction, and brought some change later. Often times, they would come to me smoking Indian hemp.

“I told them that I am tired, if they want to kill me, then they should go ahead and do so, but they said my son promised to pay them money and he failed to do so. The smaller boys among them said they would push my remains under the thick hyacinths after killing me.
“They scared me with various threats on my son and tales of horror. Then, one night they brought a speedboat and said that they were taking me to the village,”

”I advise the younger ones to desist from kidnapping and all forms of vices because such habits lead to damnation. They should rather find something reasonable to engage in for survival.”
