On the heels of two Chinese expatriates kidnapped in Ebonyi State last week, two other expatriates from Europe were also kidnapped on Sunday. According to sources, residents said the expatriates were a Scot and a Canadian, but officials did not confirm their nationality. The two men were kidnapped from an oil rig in Abua community in Rivers State.
The Joint Task Force (JTF) deployed to protect oil installations in the Niger Delta confirmed the kidnap on Sunday. The expatriates were working at an onshore oilfield said to be operated by Niger Delta Petroleum Resources.
