Kidnappers of the mother of the Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Mrs. Bettina Okunwa Benson have demanded N40 million ransom from the family before she could be released. The 78-year-old woman was kidnapped at Korokorosei, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State by gunmen, who came to the community in two speedboats. They had initially demanded for 50 Million but the family negotiated and the kidnappers came down on their demand and reduced the ransom to N40 million with a warning that they would not negotiate further. They were said to have assured the family that Madam Benson is in good spirits.
