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 Effurun, 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.
