JOS — Abductors of Michael Obi, father of Chelsea star John Mikel Obi, have made contact with the family.
KickOffNigeria.com broke news that Obi, a retired civil servant, was abducted on Friday evening, and has not been seen since.
But on Tuesday the family received two calls from the abductors, who first warned them that Obi senior had been taken out of Jos.
“They called mummy (Mikel’s mother) and told her that we should not bother looking for daddy in Jos because he has been taken to Lagos,” a family source informed KickOffNigeria.com.
A few hours later a second call came in, giving the family the location of the car which Obi was driving when he went missing.
Tony Obi, the eldest of the Obi children, confirmed to KickOffNigeria.com that the car was found in Jos, but declined to say where.
“Yes, we have found the car,” Tony Obi told KickOffNigeria.com. “I can’t say anything more for now.”
Tony recovered the car in the company of two of his in-laws. —KickOffNigeria
