Nigeria captain John Mikel Obi has expressed his gratitude to police authorities who ensured his father's safe release from the kidnappers' den.
Micheal Obi and his driver, Ishaya John were abducted along the Makurdi-Enugu road on their way from Jos last week.
In a rescue operation this week, police were engaged in a shoot-out with the kidnappers who later abandoned Pa Obi, his driver and his car.
