Suspected militants have kidnapped four nationals of United Kingdom in oil rich Niger Delta. They had been
working in the Burutu area of Delta state in the south of the country, a local
leader said.
Delta state police spokesperson Andrew Aniamaka told AFP
that they had been abducted on Friday.
"The victims are of British nationality, two of whom
are a couple, and have been rendering humanitarian services in the area for a
while," he said.
"But unfortunately, they didn't let the authorities
know of their presence in the area all this while. There is a militant group
that has been operating in the area and we believe they are the ones behind the
abduction."
