A 28-year-old agricultural engineer held captive for three days in the west African country claims name-dropping his famous compatriot calmed his violent aggressors. An Argentine kidnapped in Nigeria claims he owes his life to Barcelona forward Lionel Messi. Santiago Lopez Menendez, a 28-year-old agricultural engineer, had been working in the west African nation since last year, planting soya and corn crops close to Kontagora in the north-west of the country. But he was kidnapped earlier this week and beaten violently by his captors, who hardly spoke any English and thought he was north American. It was then in desperation that Menendez tried to tell them he was Argentine and he was eventually able to calm down his aggressors with repeated cries of "Messi, Messi, Messi". Held captive for three days, the engineer was eventually released after the company who employs him paid an undisclosed ransom to the kidnappers. Back in Argentina, his brother Jorge spoke to Clarin and said: "'Tell them I am grateful to Messi', he told me. 'Naming him is what saved me.'" Menendez is now safe and will return to his homeland in the next few hours. Source: http://m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/13141912 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Some human beings no dey use their brain, I swear. You see a foreigner going about his normal and legal business, helping us build a section of the nation (agriculture), an expatriate for that matter and you kidnap him just for your personal gains? Do you think that after his release he will want to continue to stay in the country? What will he tell his kinsmen and the rest of the world who would want come around for business, tourism, work etc? Who loses at the end of the day? On another note, I have never seen a healthy looking, "emulatable" person who made a fortune from kidnapping/ armed robbery. After all the millions paid in ransom they still look diseased and malnourished. Tufia! 6 Likes |
