Super Eagles midfielder, Christian Obodo, has been again kidnapped by unknown gunmen along the popular Refinery Road in Warri, Delta State.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command, Onome Onovawakpoyeya, Obodo was kidnapped on Sunday November 15, 2020 by his assailant while trying to purchase bananas at about 5pm around Ishaka Hotel, along Refinery Road.
He was with his girlfriend when he was abducted. No demand has been made for his release.
This is the second time the former Udinese midfielder has been kidnapped by gunmen.
The former Nigeria international was abducted by unknown gunmen on June 9, 2012, on his way to church in Warri.
The 2006 AFCON bronze medallist, who described his ordeal eight years ago as a “terrible experience”, miraculously escaped from the abductors, before nearby villagers and a vigilante group, rescued him and informed the police, who trailed the abductors to Isoko and arrested some suspects.
