LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Gunmen kidnapped three foreign oil workers from a bus in southern Nigeria Thursday, a day after a U.S. oil worker was killed in the same city, a hub of this country's oil industry.
Police Commissioner Samuel Adetuyi confirmed that two foreign nationals were seized as they rode to work in Port Harcourt. He gave no further details.
But Italian energy company Eni SPA told Italian news agencies that three people were kidnapped — two of them foreigners who work for its Saipem affiliate in Nigeria — along with a contract worker for another oil company. One of the Saipem employees was Italian and the other Indian, the company said.
