This is a confirmed report.
With the previous incident at this location some two weeks ago, that brings to a total 12 from this company currently in captivity.
It would also appear that the Indorama workers have blocked the main Eleme – Onne road and will allegedly continue to do so until the Government intervenes.
(Reuters) — Gunmen used dynamite and heavy machineguns to kidnap at least three senior managers of Indonesian chemical company Indorama in a pre-dawn raid on their residential estate in Nigeria’s southern oil-producing delta, police said.
The latest hostages added to a tally of 21 foreign workers already being held by various armed groups in the chaotic Niger delta, which is home to Africa’s largest oil industry.
