This is the second time that Mikel Obi's father has been kidnapped.
Abducted father of Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi was
rescued by the Police on Monday in Enugu.
A statement issued by spokesman of
Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, said Pa Michael Obi and his driver,
Ishaya John, were kidnapped last Friday along Makurdi – Enugu Road.
The statement read: “The Enugu State Command of the Nigeria
Police Force through its operatives of the 9thmile Division on Monday at 2:30
p.m. rescued Pa Michael Obi and his driver one Ishaya John unhurt in Egede udi
forest of Enugu State along old Egede Affa Road in Enugu.
. “They were rescued hale and hearty and Pa Michael Obi and
the driver have rejoined their family. It was gathered that Pa Obi was
allegedly abducted along Makurdi -Enugu road in the afternoon of 29/6/18 on his
way from Jos in his grey colored Toyota pardon jeep with registration number
MUS 604CG and taken to unknown destination through the thick forest part of the
area.
. “It was further gathered that the abductors started
calling to demand a ransom of N10 million before the operatives acting on
intelligence information swooped on them where a gun duel ensued. This forced
the hoodlums to abandon their victims inside the forest and they were promptly
rescued.
Na wa o.
Mikel needs to move his old man out of Nigeria.
Kidnappers find him very lucrative and he can never be safe here.
The saddest truth is that he may be free now, but his mind will remain in the abductors' den.
My heart goes out to him.
