After the kidnapping of John Obi Mikel’s father, the player has made an appeal to the scum that have done this through Sky television.
Mikel pleaded for the return of his father stating that he is “just an old man who has done no harm to anybody”.
Slightly puzzlingly, Mikel also said that he did not know why this had happened – almost certainly there will be a ransom demand and, given the ineffectiveness of and corruption in the Nigerian authorities, Mikel will more than likely have to make a huge pay-off to secure the release of his father.
What after? Move his family to England so that this doesn’t happen again?
I can’t begin to say how concerned and worried I, and surely many other Chelsea supporters, feel at the moment.
