Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has sent a strong message to
President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government regarding the security
situation in the country.
He spoke in reaction to the kidnap and release of the mother of fellow Super Eagles star, Samuel Kalu.
“I called Samuel when his mother was kidnapped and gave him my advice
as someone who has been through it twice. I knew how he would be
feeling. I was glad when his mother was released because you don’t want
anyone going through that.
“I suppose these things happen every day with different families and
obviously we want to see the authorities take more responsibility, but
Nigeria is a very crowded place and you can’t manage the security.
“You go out and you don’t know if you will come back. The government
need to look into it and they can do more,” Mikel said on BBC World
Service’s Sportsworld.
