This abdution thing is getting out of hand in Nigeria.Nigerian
midfielder and Udinese Calcio of Italy player, Christian Obodo, was
kidnapped in his hometown of Warri, Delta State today. The 28 year old
footballer who grew up in Warri but moved abroad after his football
career picked up, was home on holiday when he was kidnapped by gunmen in
front of Zion Ministry Church Effurumin, Warri in the early hours of
today. Obodo was driving alone in his customized SUV - Obodo 5 when five
gunmen in another vehicle double crossed him, dragged him out from his
car, left his car on the road and sped off with Obodo in the back seat
of their own car.
A few hours after his abduction, the kidnappers contacted his family
demanding 150 thousand Euros before they release him. Obodo is the first
footballer to be kidnapped in Nigeria. They've messed with footballers
families but never a footballer until now.
