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.

Mikel’s father missing, not abducted - Police | Print | E-mail
Wednesday, 17 August 2011

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.

1st class and 2.1 are cumulative results! There's no way you can just wake up and change results. All those accusing these two classes of degrees are not serious! Unless you're telling me that a candidate will bribe his way from 100level to final year, and for each course of study and projects. Mind you, there are stages for considering results: from examiners, to departmental examiners board, to faculty board and then to Senate. After senate's approval, no body tampers with results. Mind you, records of results are kept in exam office, HOD's office, Dean's office and in Senate. Tell me then at what stage can some one change results? Before graduation, all records are checked-inform of clearance, before a student is graduated. All those accusing 1st class and 2.1 should go back to the University and see if they can bribe their ways and come out with a first class degree! One thing most people don't know is that the moment you're admitted to a course and for your first exam you earn 3.5 CGPA and above, you're being noticed already. You're being encouraged and monitored. At what point can you bribe to change the CGPA? I can write on and on. But for NNPC to come out and say such about those classes of degree is an insult on the Universities, NUC and the Federal ministry of Education. An aptitude test is different from academic test or exams. On a good day you can pass or fail an aptitude test, but not academic test or exam. Aptitude test has to do with general knowledge and life; and not academic specifics. NNPC should apologize for such insult on academics and education. They should ask PTDF about our 1st class and 2.1 who have gone to UK schools for M.Sc and PhD programmes and excelled more than those British citizens that did undergraduate programmes in their country. Well, i beg to stop here. Cheers!

I grow nails on my ten fingers my hands feel incomplete without them. What I cant stand is nails on my feet
