Gunmen
have abducted a Romanian engineer in Delta State, police said on Tuesday.
Officers have launched a search for the man in the area of Owa Oyibo, where he
was abducted late on Monday, said Celestina Kalu, a spokeswoman for police
in Delta state.
He
was working for Dextron Nigeria Ltd, a construction firm, Kalu added, according
to Reuters.
The
southern swampland has been hit by a wave of militant attacks on oil and gas
facilities and a general breakdown of law.
Militants
are fighting for a greater share of oil revenues for the impoverished Niger
Delta, which is home to much of Nigeria’s oil production.
