Kidnappers who abducted the father of Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi contacted his family on Wednesday requesting a N20m ($130,000) ransom for his release, the Police told Reuters.

Police were contacted on Friday after Mikel’s father, Michael, who runs a transport company, failed to return to his home located around Rayfield in Jos.

A spokesman for the Plateau State Police Command, Apev Jacob, told Reuters that they had found his father’s car abandoned but did not disclose the location.

Jacob gave no further details of how ransom negotiations were progressing and Mikel’s family declined to comment.

Mikel mother also declined giving any details when THE PUNCH correspondent contacted her on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Nigeria international played in Sunday’s English Premier League season-opening 0-0 draw at Stoke City despite knowing his father was abducted on Friday.

He has publicly pleaded for his safe return.

Mrs. Rose Obi, the mother of Mikel, refuted reports that the kidnappers had contacted the family.

She told our correspondent in an interview in Jos on Wednesday that it was only the car, a Mercedes Benz, that was recovered somewhere around Kwali Falls, in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau state.

She said, “We have not been contacted and as such we don’t know his present location. As I told you, we have only recovered the car through the assistance of somebody who saw it and reported to us.”

“As it is now we are still expecting a call from the kidnappers, but we are yet to get any.”

Police Commissioner, Dipo Ayeni, had told THE PUNCH he was not aware that the kidnappers had contacted the family. He however confirmed the recovery of the car.

“We are making frantic efforts to get to the root of the matter. We are deploying all our intelligence network and we are working round the clock to ensure that he was rescued,” the Commissioner said.

Our Correspondent reports that family members of kidnapped victims often do not disclose details of dealings with the kidnappers for safety reasons.
