The 36 years old told Brila FM on Monday that he was locked up in a car trunk for hours and robbed by the abductors.
“It was really discomforting locked up in a hot car trunk for hours,” Obodo told Brila FM.
“The kidnappers were even telling me about how they lost money for placing bets on Nigeria to score in the second half.
“They didn’t hurt me or intimidate me but I can’t understand the reason for anyone to want to put me through this sort of thing over again.”
Obodo who won 21 caps for the Super Eagles was first abducted on June 9, 2012, on his way to church in Effurun, Warri.
