Five kidnapped from Nigerian oil rig

Saturday, July 07, 2007

Five men have been kidnapped in a raid on a Royal Dutch Shell oil rig in Nigeria. In the early morning raid, several armed men in boats opened fire on the rigs security guards.

A Nigerian security expert says he doubts the two New Zealanders kidnapped from the oil rig will be killed. Bola Alkin says it would be unusual for the kidnappers to kill their prisoners after such an attack. He says normally all the kidnappers are doing is trying to send a message to the Nigerian government.

A Shell spokesperson says the company does not pay ransom for the release of kidnapped workers, but is obviously concerned for them.

The captured are Bruce Klenner and Gottard Brene from New Zealand, Jason Lane from Australia, George Saliba from Lebanon and Andreas Gambra from Venezuela.
