Mr Koomson’s wife told Citi News in an interview that the last time she saw her husband was on the 16th December 2009, when her Husband embarked on a journey to join the ship MV Iceberg 1 in Oman.
Mrs Eva Koomson who has been crying since the unfortunate incident occurred told Citi News’ Richard Mensah that her two sons have been a source of inspiration to her.
“I have cried a lot, even since morning I have been crying but my children asked me to calm down. About two weeks ago I mistakenly called his line but it was picked by the pirates and infact I was very scared because I thought something might happen to him. When I was listening to the discussion on the issue on your station, I became very sad but my children asked me calm down and relax. We need your prayers and your help so that he will be released from the pirates”
The first born of Mr and Mrs Koomson, Isaac Kofi Koomson told Citi FM that life has been unbearable since his father was captured by the pirates. He also pleaded with the government to do all it can to secure his father’s safety release.
“My dad is a very caring and loving Dad, even when he is outside he sends us money, my mother is not doing any serious business so I have been helping them sometimes. When it happened my junior brother and I, we went to the agent to tell him but he didn’t say anything better to us, even now when we call him he doesn’t pick. The whole situation has made me sad. I am appealing to the government that they should help my Father so that he will be released and come home”.
Francis Koomson, a 25 year old graduate from the Maritime University and the second born of the captured Mr Koomson also told Citi FM that he wanted to take after his father’s profession but has suddenly lost interest after the unfortunate incident.
“I read marine engine mechanic at the Maritime University, I wanted to take after my father...that was my aim but seeing my father go through this, it has made me shaky a little”.
A Yemeni-born Indian Engineer on the MV Iceberg Vessel captured by the Somali pirates outside the Gulf of Aden has also called on the countries of the 24 people held by the Pirates to come to the aid of their nationals.
The Engineer who spoke to Citi News from the Vessel said the conditions of uncertainty the captives are living in is very deplorable.
The MV Iceberg 1 vessel was captured in March 2010 outside the Aden port.
The ship owners reported the incident to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). NATO was later informed that the Hijackers were sailing the Vessel towards the Somali Coast.
