Vanguard reports that the three foreign workers were kidnapped by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday. It was made known that the foreigners whose nationalities have not been ascertained as at the time of filing this report were working for a construction firm called Elmerit when they were captured.
This kidnap event has ultimately pushed forward the high rate of insecurity in the riverine enclave of the state where pirates and other criminal elements have been terrorizing law abiding citizens.
The gunmen were said to have captured the foreigners at gunpoint while they were working on road projects in Emakalakala, Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa state, dragging them into a waiting boat which sped away into the surrounding creeks.
