Coach of Nigeria's U-23 team, Samson Siasia has vowed to turn his attention to securing a ticket to the 2016 Olympics after his mother, Mrs Ogere Siasia was released by her kidnappers on Saturday.
The Dream team VI are competing at the African U-23 Championships in Senegal and Siasia admits the unknown state of his mother had been a distraction.
Siasia says he feels relieved, knowing that his mother was released unhurt.
The kidnappers had initially demanded $750,000 but subsequently reduced their demand to $175,000 for the release of the 72-year-old.
Siasia revealed that he had no idea if any ransom was paid for the release of his mother.
