The Enugu
State Police Command on Monday July 2nd rescued the kidnapped father of Super
Eagles captain, Mikel Obi.
Spokesperson
for the State Police Command, who confirmed the development in a statement,
Ebere Amaraizu, said Pa Michael Obi and his driver, Ishaya John, were kidnapped
last Friday along Makurdi – Enugu Road.
“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," the statement read.
“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
Prado 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.”
