Gunmen armed with dynamite invaded an oil services base in Bayelsa state in Nigeria’s southern oil-producing Niger Delta on Wednesday and kidnapped nine South Korean workers and one Nigerian. The gunmen came in six boats to the riverside base in the outskirts of Bayelsa state capital Yenagoa. They blew up part of an office building and the ground was littered with pieces of zinc roofing, electrical fittings and air conditioning units. “The militants entered the facility armed with guns and dynamite before dawn,” said Han Sang-ho, a Daewoo employee at the site, speaking to South Korean TV network YTN. |
