“Please release him so he can meet me alive” – Sick mother of kidnapped Anambra guber candidate, Obiora Agbasimalo begs his abductors
Mrs. Ada Agbasimalo, mother of kidnapped candidate of the Labour Party in the Nov. 6 governorship election in Anambra state, Mr Obiora Agbasimalo, has pleaded with abductors of her son to release him after almost 5 months in captivity.
Taking to her Facebook page on February 13, 2022, the author revealed that she is very sick and wants her son to meet her alive.
Ada Agbasimalo wrote:
“HAPPY VALENTINE BISCO, BISCO! This is my dear son Obiora, at his grandmother’s burial.
I am pleading again with the abductors to kindly release him so he can meet me alive. I am very sick. Think about your own mothers. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Executive Governor of Anambra state, hear my cry and do something. I am the author of The Forest Dames. I was made to live in the forest in 1979. My son should not suffer the same predicament in 2021/2022. Please help me. I am calling on anybody who is able to help. PLEASE.”
It was gathered that the politician was kidnapped on Saturday, September 18, 2021, while leaving a campaign ground at Ezinifitte Nnewi South Local Government Area to Azhia in Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.
The incident occurred a week after the former banker flagged off his governorship campaign in Onitsha.
The kidnap of Agbasimalo was shrouded in mystery and controversy. According to Clement Ojukwu, National organizing secretary; and a member of the Labour Party campaign council, Stanley Okoli, the abduction of the politician had a political undertone and is not unconnected to his popularity.
On January 1st, 2022, the sad mother wrote an emotional post on Facebook begging the abductors of her son to release him so that she can be at peace.
She said:
“Happy New Year to my son Obiora! Happy New Year to his abductors! This is an entirely new year. Please release him from captivity I beg you. Make his release my birthday gift today. Remember, I am still on my knees. I also wish your mothers a very Happy New Year. Release Obiora Agbasimalo and God will bless you as you do. Happy New Year everybody! Compliments of the Season!”
Last year, the mother of the missing young man wrote a post appealing for her son to be released.

“I plead with the abductors of my son to please release him to me. Dear abductors, I am very sure you are all young enough to be my children. Please my children think about your own biological mothers and remember my plight, my agony, my predicament, my distress; and have pity on me. I am on my knees begging you to release Obiora Agbasimalo. He is an innocent young man without any evil connections. He went from the University straight to the bank without any associations. He is a clean jolly good fellow who had great ideas on how to fix Anambra State. Obiora loves even his abductors, so do I. Please release him and God will bless you as you do. Compliments of the Season.”
