LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - A group of gunmen wearing security force uniforms invaded a compound in restive southern Nigeria and kidnapped four foreign oil workers without firing a shot, police said Saturday.
The abduction occurred overnight at the U.S.-based oil-services firm Schlumberger Ltd. in Port Harcourt and the kidnapped included one Dutch, one British and one Pakistani citizen, Rivers State Police Commissioner Felix Ogbaudu said.
The nationality of the fourth captive was not immediately available. The British embassy in Nigeria had no information on a missing Briton, and the company and other embassies weren't immediately reachable for comment.
