THE Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Mr Dipo Ayeni, has said Mr Michael Obi, the father of Nigerian international and Chelsea of England midfielder, Mikel Obi, was missing and “not abducted.”

Ayeni told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos, on Tuesday, nobody had reported any case of abduction to the police, adding that the report the command had received was that of someone missing.

“The police command is gathering relevant information that will give a positive clue about the whereabouts of the old man,” Ayeni added.

The police commissioner said there was no clue yet on the whereabouts of the man, adding that the command was “working hard to ensure that he is found alive, hale and hearty.”
He said the family reported the case to the police on Saturday, adding that efforts had been intensified since then to find his location.

Ayeni also said no person or group had demanded any ransom so far, while urging the public to oblige the police with useful information that would lead to Obi’s whereabouts
He, however, confirmed that Obi’s reported “abduction” had nothing to do with the security situation in Jos, particularly the violence on Monday.

A source close to the family has, however, alleged complicity of the family in Obi’s predicament.

“I have heard of some rumours that the abduction is meant to get a fair share of Obi’s fortune by some members of the family.

“Some of the family members are feeling left out in the sharing of the footballer’s money and have devised a way to get something,” the source, who pleaded anonymity, told NAN.
