The
spokesperson to Delta State Police Command, Charles Mouka,  said the
Lecce player Obodo, was freed from his kidnappers in a forest in the
Enevor area of Delta state.
He said that  some of the kidnappers, who demanded $170,000 ransom, were also arrested during operation.

 

The kidnappers of the Lecce player had demanded for $170,000 in ransom money shortly after the kidnapping.
Obodo,
who plies his trade with Seria B side Leece, returned to the country
few weeks ago after a tedious football season in Italy.

referred to as ‘bundle of skills’ owing to his dribbling skills, Obodo
had two years ago lost his father who passed away after a brief illness
Obodo’s abduction is the first suffered by any footballer
even though close families of some football stars have been seized in
the past
