ONITSHA, Nigeria, June 9 (Reuters) - Gunmen in Nigeria's
oil-rich Rivers state kidnapped two Lebanese workers helping to
build a road, a police spokesman told Reuters on Sunday.
The workers were abducted on Friday from a site in the
Andoni local government area, Rivers state police spokesman
Nnamdi Omoni said.
"Some people have been invited for questioning and we hope
by the end of today we may close in on the main targets," Omoni
said.
Kidnappings in the oil-producing Delta region where Rivers
state sits are not uncommon. In April, gunman abducted two
foreign workers from an oil rig, prompting state police to step
up security in the area.
