Nigeria: Obodo, formerly of Turin, Lecce and Fiorentina kidnapped

Christian Obodo was released by his captors, who had taken him away while he was in the car with his partner. The former Perugia, Turin, Udinese and Fiorentina footballer was robbed of all his belongings and taken to a forest, but he himself told Brila FM, a broadcaster in his country that deals with sports topics. "I was locked in the trunk of a car for four hours, in the heat - said Obodo -. The kidnappers also told me that they had lost money by betting on the Nigerian national team matches. They did not hurt me, nor threaten me, but they did not I understand why someone always wants me to experience such situations ". Obodo had already been kidnapped, also in Nigeria, in 2012 on his way to church, and then released after the payment of a ransom.
