Gunmen Kidnap Seven Foreign Employees of Setraco in Bauchi

Seven foreign workers of giant construction company, Setraco, were kidnapped last night by gunmen in Bauchi. The attackers went to the Lebanese-owned construction site of Setraco in Jama'are town, where they killed a security guard and kidnapped the foreign workers

Adamu Aliyu, the chairman of the local government area identified those kidnapped as one British citizen, one Greek, one Italian and four Lebanese.

Bauchi State Police Chief Mohammed Ladan told AFP that the unknown gunmen first attacked a local prison, burning two police trucks, before targeting Setraco, which is in the area building a road.

  4. Hmmm, what is our dear country turning into? religious crises, kidnapping, militantcy, etc, please let's condemn these babaric acts. @ companies, take simple safety precautions - relocate foregin staff from crises zones esp the North, at least for now. Is it that Nigerians can't fill those roles? Not that this is the solution, but at least, it'll will these kidnap cases - my 2 cents advice

  31. The statement says "gunmen",not "muslims".....mr "first to comment", this your level of shallow mindedness is ALARMING. And to you making corrections about constructing or building, did you get the intended message or not?...

  32. We have good engineers in our country and they are jobless. Yet we pay millions to bring in foreign bodies to do our job. Why not spend de millions in teaching our pple to beta our country n reduce unemployment. The kidnappers beliv der is money so de want to help in destroying Watson left of Nigerias' integrity

  33. @ 1st comment who told you they are muslims its better you identify them as terrorist.Islam is a religion of peace

    ReplyDelete
  34. Linda is correct. You can build road or say construct road.

    ReplyDelete
  35. A muslim is one who has absolute submission to the will of God. So, why should God kill those who submit to Him. We are talking about kidnappers, u are abusing your generation. may you never know peace in your life. Parochia brain.

  36. Don't know why govt is till wasting money tryin to bring development to those northerners,hearth workers they will kill,contruction workers the will kidnap.why not just leave them and let's see what becomes of their states,health, environment and children in the next few years.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think kidnapping should now be made a crime worthy of the death penalty and that law should actually be enforced- only then will kidnappers understand that the authorities mean business

    ReplyDelete
  38. Unhappy people. Hahahahaaha. These northerners are so backward. They don't even want good roads. Foolish people.

  39. Foolish Abokis.... Lost forever.

  40. They have killed a poor security man. A nigerian who was trying to make a living. Probably a university graduate who was unable to get a more decent job due to the high level of corruption in our country. May his blood be on the heads of his killers. No peace for the wicked!!!

  52. I think the North needs to seperate from the rest of the country cos they are not willing to accept development. They can remain in the dark and be fanatics we don't mind. So far they don't bug the rest of us.
