Mentioning Messi Saved My Life, Says Argentine Kidnapped In Nigeria. by rheether(f): 9:15am On Jun 29, 2015 |
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. |

rheether:some people read with one eye closed and one part of their brain closed down they find it hard to know that company the man was working for paid undisclosed amount of ransom before his release not by mentioning the name messi that saved him but ransom. |
