Michael Obi speaks for the first time since his abduction.
The marvelous news is that John Obi Mikel's father, Michael, is indeed alive after several days
missing in his native Nigeria. The bad news: He has in fact been abducted, with a ransom set by
kidnappers on Wednesday.
Michael's abduction was confirmed Tuesday when a pair of calls were made from the kidnappers to
the Mikel family.
All I would say to the people who have him is please let him go. He is an old man. He has
not done any harm to anyone. I am devastated by this situation.
