Ahly midfielder Mohamed Shawky’s brother has been abducted early on Friday by armed men in Port Said.

According to CBC channel, a number of armed and masked men riding a pickup truck and wielding machine guns confronted Ayman Shawky and his cousin while both men were on their way back home.

The abductors, whom some eyewitnesses described as Bedouins, later phoned family and demanded an LE4 million in ransom to release Shawky and his cousin.
