“He was supposed to read the news on the radio this morning, but of course could not anymore because of the kidnapping. He is not a politician or involved in any controversy. He is such an easygoing guy. So why should something like this happen to him? Could it be a mistaken identity? No one knows. His phone number has been switched off since and the kidnappers have not gotten in touch yet. It is really unfortunate,” a source close to him said.
