Officials have told SCORENigeria that Super Eagles skipper Mikel Obi paid a ransom of 10 million Naira (about $25,000) for his father to be freed by his kidnappers.

This was the second time the Obi senior has been kidnapped.



“Michael Obi, the father of Eagles captain, has regained his freedom,” disclosed Enugu Police command spokesman Ebere Amaraizu.

“He is right now in the office of the Enugu State police commissioner.”

Michael Obi senior was kidnapped on Thursday at Ebe, close to Ninth mile, around 4pm.

A gang of six armed men kidnapped and he was forced to walk for three miles barefooted and under heavy rain.

The kidnappers demanded for a ransom of 14 million Naira, before they agreed to take 10 million Naira.

[oloye]

That country is so messed up it ain't funny anymore.

[Coach]

Family affair.

This is why I "hide a little" whenever I travel home, because if they don't get you, they might get one of your loved ones. Our country is getting very dangerous in so many ways

[Ugbowo]

This is so sad. Get him out of there then.

WTF again!!! haba!

Mikel abeg as horrible as this sounds, you have to move your family away from these demons.

Hmm.. Thats why the first rule of discussion with kidnappers/terrorists/blackmailers is, you absolutely never negotiate or pay them. NEVER! You make that move and you have opened yourself to becoming an ATM machine! Never never do it!

Unfortunately, i know that once a loved one is involved, it becomes a different issue and you feel like you have no choice but to pay.

But if you have the heart to hold strong, dont do it!

Na wah I was initially thinking why posting this old news again. Kidnapped again...lawlessness

Meanwhile Buhari is busy bringing everyone to books while the common man can't live in peace.

Would you not pay, if it was your mom or your dad, or god forbid your pikin?
Will you hold out, knowing that you might never see your loved one again?

I hear what you are saying in theory, but the reality is money is not worth the life of a loved one. Ever.

Couple of years after Mikel signed for Chelsea, I was at a hotel in Wuse zone 2 in Abuja when someone showed me Mikel's Dad. He was there for several hours and mingled with a lot of people. I vividly remember people saying that he was very friendly and humble. What I found a little disturbing was that he was way too accessible.
I'm glad that he's ok but he needs to be careful. Nigeria is simply too dangerous for that kind of lifestyle given his son's notoriety.

Oh Naija ...why?

[highbury]

Na waa ooo. Like I said the earlier in another post: The love of money is truly the root of all evil. I suspect the person who orchestrated the first kidnap is involved one way or another with the second kidnap. Secondly, the person responsible is close to Mikel and his father. In order words, someone in their close circle.
