        I'll say take the old man far away from there; cause obviously, someone close is making money of him, considering this is the second time it's happened to his dad! What a sick world we live in!

        It's not the first time kidnappers had kidnapped his father - that said why don't he hire bodyguards for his near? Becouse kidnapping of wealthy people(or relatives of rich people) in Nigeria is very common. Mikel has millions in the bank. PS! Sorry for the picture but it's funnypic.twitter.com/pLemNCepIP
