| | Gunmen in Nigeria's southern Bayelsa State on Monday on abducted two Lebanese nationals, two days after a British oil worker was seized from an offshire rig, national police spokesman Haz Iwendi said. "It is true that the two Lebanese nationals were kidnapped this morning in Bayelsa State," Iwendi told the agency by telephone without giving details. Industry sources told the agency that the foreigners, who were working for Setraco, a construction firm, were abducted around 7:00 am in Yenagoa, the state capital. The identities of the Lebanese and the circumstances surrounding their kidnap are still unknown. The abduction took place barely 48 hours after a British oil worker was kidnapped from an offshore rig in the western Niger Delta, which was also the target of a raid last year. There has been no news of him or claim of responsibility for his kidnap. Setraco (Nigeria) Limited was established 30 years ago as an engineering construction company specialising in building highways, roads, bridges and other infrastructure. |
