Nigerian militants have been responsible for kidnappings
Britons have been advised by the UK government to leave three states in Nigeria’s oil-producing Niger Delta.
In updates to travel advice on the Foreign Office website, citizens were warned that Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States are unsafe.
The site states this is because of the very high risk of kidnapping, armed robbery and other armed attacks.
A Briton was one of four foreign oil workers kidnapped in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers State, last week.
Since January last year, 31 British nationals and more than 180 foreigners have been kidnapped in the area. One Briton has been killed.
In its travel advice, the Foreign Office says British nationals who do stay in the region do so at their own risk.
It states this is because “of the very high risk of kidnapping, armed robbery and other armed attacks in these areas”.
It also advises those who do stay in the three states that they are doing so “at their own risk” and says they should take professional security advice.
Most foreigners who go to the area, such as oil workers, already travel there with armed police escorts.
Recent attacks in the area have led to a 25% cut in Nigeria’s oil production.
‘Very serious’ situation
Those on ships and oil rigs off the coast of the Delta should also be aware of the “high risk of kidnappings and other armed attacks”, the Foreign Office said.
Aberdeen North Labour MP Frank Doran, who has campaigned for tougher travel advice for oil workers travelling to the region, said the situation had become “very, very serious”.
The UK government, the Nigerian government and private security firms could guarantee the safety of Britons, he said.
He added: “I think the oil companies have to look seriously about whether or not they can continue to work there.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
