Gunmen suspected to be Niger Delta militants have kidnapped
14 oil workers and their driver, police
said on Saturday, September 3, 2016.
This is coming on the heels of a ceasefire declared by
dominant militants grous, Niger Delta Avenegers and Movement for Emancipation
of Niger Delta People. .
The abduction took place on a road connecting the towns of
Omoku and Elele, near Port Harcourt, Rivers state, in the early hours of Friday
as the employees of an oil services contractor Nestoil traveled to work, police
said.
"We have recovered the vehicle they were traveling 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 Police Command.
"I do not think there was a foreigner among those
kidnapped. Their abductors have not made any contact and nobody has been
arrested yet," added Nnamdi.
