Nigerian midfielder and Udinese Calcio of Italy Player, Christian Obodo (pictured), was kidnapped in his hometown of Warri, Delta State today.

The 28 year old footballer who grew up in Warri but moved abroad after his football career picked up, was home on holiday when he was kidnapped by gunmen in front of Zion Ministry Church Effurun, Warri in the early hours of today. 
Obodo was driving alone in his customized SUV - Obodo 5 when five gunmen in another vehicle double crossed him, dragged him out from his car, left his car on the road and sped off with Obodo in the back seat of their own car.

A few hours after his abduction, the kidnappers contacted his family demanding 150 thousand Euros before they release him. Obodo is the first footballer to be kidnapped in Nigeria. They've messed with footballers families but never a footballer.

    I didn't know if this was religious issue according to Anonymous Sun Jun 10, 09:06 pm 2012saying Christians are being killed everywhere is bullshit. This is pure crime the same with the war in terrorism which which hundredds of muslims are being killed everyday. Nothing in the quran or bible that justify killings of other human.
