Gunmen have abducted two Chinese nationals working on a road project in Kwara state.
The expatriates were among workers on the BUA Bode
Saadu–Kaiama–Kosubosu road when the masked assailants arrived the scene while
shooting sporadically.
The incident occurred on Monday at the site in Ejidongari,
Moro LGA.
Adekimi Ojo, Kwara police commissioner, confirmed the
incident to TheCable on Friday.
“It is true that they were abducted from the construction
site; they are working with BUA. That’s all for now,” he said.
Kwara has recorded an increase in kidnappings, banditry and
other violent crimes in recent weeks.
The latest incident follows the November 18 attack on a
Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Ekiti LGA, where gunmen opened fire on
worshippers.
All 38 victims abducted in Eruku have been freed.
On November 25, the presidency directed a full security
lockdown across forested areas in the state.
The directive included round-the-clock aerial patrols by the
Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and boots on the ground to dislodge armed groups.
