Former Super Eagles midfielder, Christian Obodo, has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen along Refinery Road, Warri in Delta State,
Obodo, 36, was abducted by the gunmen when he stopped by to buy bananas on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command,  Onome Onovawakpoyeya, told TNC correspondent.
“Obodo was kidnapped at about 5pm on Sunday around Ishaka Hotel just along Refinery Road.
