Delta State has condemned the kidnap of former Super Eagles midfielder Christian Obodo and said that the state government was making frantic efforts to ensure that the player was released.

However, spokesman of Delta Football Association Timi Ibikagbaro last night frowned at the life style of Obodo whom he accused of "showing off and attracting unnecessary attention that possibly led to his unfortunate kidnap."

Timi said that Obodo had gone to a night club Saturday night in a customized car that had "Obodo 5" as number plate and had spent a lot of money to entertain his friends.

"Contacts are being made and every hand is on deck to ensure his release," Timi said, adding "but we have advised players to inform us when they are on holiday so that we can provide security and also advise them on their life style. Obodo showed off which was not necessary going by the mood of the nation after the Dana plane crash and even security issues in the country.

This is in no way trying to cast aspersions or condemn Obodo as a person. But some life styles attract these kidnappers. It was possible they trailed him from the night club to when he retired and picked him up. Security men are, however, doing everything possible to ensure his release. Contacts have been made and work is going on to free him."

christian obodo is just a victim of our stupid security network

.Yes sir indeed. The Nigerian Car-Jackers and Armed Robbers Association has long ago passed a decree which EXPLICITLY forbids rich people from flaunting their wealth in front of the poor. This statute was entitled the "Who No Know Go Know" Decree of 1992, Article 7, Paragraph 5.

The penalty for first offenders is the immediate confiscation of such flashy vehicles, which will then be re-cycled with new ownership paperwork in neighboring West African countries, but for repeat offenders, the penalties range from solitary confinement as an unwilling guest of kidnapping gangs, to summary decapitation, dismemberment and sale of the offender's head and gonads for chump change in Ogunpa Market, Ibadan.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
