Nigeria captain played vs Argentina despite dad's kidnapping
Nigerian captain John Obi Mikel has revealed he played against Argentina in the 2018 FIFA World Cup last week despite knowing his father was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded $28,000 from Mikel just four hours before kickoff and told him they'll shoot his father if he reported. "I knew I couldn't let 180 million Nigerians down," Mikel said about his decision.
