Mikel's family in dark over dad's kidnap

John Obi Mikel's brother admits he is still in the dark as to the whereabouts of their father, who has been abducted in Nigeria. Michael Obi has been missing since he left work on Friday afternoon in the Nigerian city of Jos.

Mikel's elder sibling, Nigerian Premier League player Ebele Obi, yesterday spoke of the emotional turmoil: "We still have not heard anything from anybody. We are doing all we can to get him back (but) unfortunately we have not heard anything from anyone and without information, it will be difficult for us to act."
