Samson Siasia gradually sliding into depression after failing to recover mum, Enakhena claims

Samson Siasia, former Super Eagles coach, is reportedly sliding into depression having failed to re-unite with his mother after about ten weeks since her disappearance.

The mother of the 52-year-old tactician was kidnapped about three months ago alongside two others and all efforts to free them from the abductors are fruitless at the moment.

Siasia, who was recently handed a life ban by FIFA over alleged match-fixing, recently pleaded with the government to help him recover his aged mum from the kidnappers den.

Samson Siasia was quoted to have told ace journalist Godwin Enakhena in Lagos: "Godwin, I am not fine. I have not been fine since July and Aug. I don’t know if I will ever be."
