John Obi Mikel's brother admits he is still in the dark as to the whereabouts of their father, who has been abducted in Nigeria.
Michael Obi has been missing since he left work on Friday afternoon in the Nigerian city of Jos.
Yesterday, Chelsea midfielder Mikel gave an emotional interview in which he pleaded for his father's safe return after his management team issued a statement confirming the abduction.
Mikel's elder sibling, Nigerian Premier League player Ebele Obi, yesterday spoke of the emotional turmoil he has had to endure since the disappearance of his father and admitted police are no closer to finding him.
"We still have not heard anything from anybody. It is very, very sad. He went to work on Friday and we have not seen or heard from him since then," Ebele said. "He [Obi Snr] always drives himself to work and back. That fateful day, we were trying to reach him on his phones without any luck. The phones kept ringing but no one was taking the calls. After a while, the phones stopped ringing. That is the situation till this moment.
