''I couldn't believe I was on my way to church and I had just parked my car when six boys,very young boys,just came to me and started ordering me to come with them.I told them to take it easy,that I would do what they say,and they took me to their car,blindfolded me and drove away.I asked where we were going,and they said Port-Harcourt,then Benin,then Asaba.Instead when they took off the blindfold,we were in a forest.That night I slept on the ground.But they were very nice to me.they didn't touch me.They didn't take any of my jewellery or wallet or anything else.We were just talking like old friends.They assured me that nothing would happen to me.I even prayed with them.''Click on read more below to continue....
''Then the next morning,they started to move again.It was later that I discovered that it was because the whole state had been covered by security operatives.They told me all the roads,even the rivers and creeks were being watched by security.They said it was somebody close to me who set up everything.Someone that I had been helping.They said the person told them I would be in the church by 8am that morning.I didn't know what to say.Five of them left to go and get the money,leaving me with one of them.But he later said he had to leave the place because the area was being monitored.He told me to promise him that I would not shout or run away.I told him I'd been co-operating since they took me and since they had promised to release me that day,I would do what he said.''
''When we got to the town,he got a call that two or three of them had been captured.I heard the other one telling him to take me back and tie me up in the forest.At that point,I told myself I wasn't going back into that forest.So I told him that it's possible his people wanted to betray him,that they have taken the money and run.I asked him to let me call my people to find out if the money had been picked up.He agreed but said he did not have credit on his phone,so we would have to waalk back into the village to buy airtime.As we were walking back to the village,we saw a group of people sitting around,so we stopped to ask for a recharge card.They said they didn't have it there.He now said we move on to the next place.At that point,I pushed him and started running and sreaming that I am Chris Obodo and that they should help.''
''The people immediately gathered.Luckily,they also had some vigilante people around,they call them Black Beret and they came and got me.The police were also nearby,because they had been tracking them through phone calls.That was when I started crying and giving thanks to God.That is how I got out.''Despite the trauma,Obodo says he has no immediate plans to stop returning home to Warri.''It won't stop me from going to Warri.That is where I have lived all my life.I'm a Warri boy and it's not like I go out anyhow.''
