The older brother of star footballer Joseph Yobo was seized by gunmen at a hotel in his native Nigeria yesterday morning. No group has yet claimed responsibility and no ransom has been demanded. Kidnappings are frequent in the oil-rich but poverty-stricken Niger Delta region of Nigeria, and usually end with a ransom payment.

Everton football club has said it would do all it could to help Joseph Yobo, who is on holiday in Lagos.
