Two Lebanese men have been kidnapped by armed men in Nigeria’s oil-producing south
Two Lebanese men have been kidnapped by armed men in Nigeria's oil-producing south, local media reported on Thursday.
Two policemen were also killed during the kidnapping operation at Bayelsa State in the Niger Delta, said the reports.
They said the men were armed with sophisticated weapons and came in two speed boats, storming the site of Pache Nigeria Limited, shooting sporadically into the air to scare people.
Eyewitnesses said the policemen engaged in a gunbattle with the assailants, but they were killed instantly.
The kidnappers then immediately grabbed the two Lebanese men and whisked them into the speed boats and escaped, they said.
