 YENAGOA, Nigeria (AP) - Nigerian police said a Dutch oil worker was kidnapped by armed men Thursday morning from a Royal Dutch Shell gas plant, the latest in a spate of hostage-taking in the country's oil-rich southern delta.
Hafiz Ringim, police commissioner for Bayelsa state, said Thursday's kidnappers arrived at the Shell plant in speedboats and took hostage an expatriate working for Westminster Dredging, a contractor to Royal Dutch Shell PLC. The plant is located outside of Yenagoa, the regional capital.
Ringim said the worker, Michael Loss, was a Dutch national.
