A number of oil workers employed by indigenous firm Nestoil were kidnapped on September 2. According to reports, gunmen kidnapped 14 workers and their driver in the Rivers state.
The abduction took place on a road outside Port Harcourt in the early hours of September 2 while the Nestoil employees were traveling to work.
“We have recovered the vehicle they were travelling in before the incident occurred. Police are currently combing bushes around the area in a bid to find and release the victims,” said Nnamdi Omoni of Rivers state police in a Reuters report. “I do not think there was a foreigner among those kidnapped. Their abductors have not made any contact and nobody has been arrested yet.”
