About 200 foreign workers have been kidnapped so far this year
Sunday 21 October 2007
A British oil worker has been kidnapped in Nigeria along with six other men, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
Earlier, Olav Ljosne, spokesman for Shell, told the AP news agency that gunmen in speedboats attacked the EA oil field in the volatile Niger Delta.
Three foreign workers, including the Briton, and four Nigerians were taken after a three-hour gun battle, he said.
A Foreign Office spokesman said it was aware of an incident, but had not received any more details.
The offshore EA field has been closed since February 2006, but was due to resume operations by the middle of next year.
Mr Ljosne said: “The next step is to evacuate the staff and try to work on the release of the kidnapped people.”
About 200 foreign workers have been kidnapped in Nigeria since the beginning of the year.
One of them was a three-year-old girl, the daughter of a British national, who was taken from the southern city of Port Harcourt in July.
Nigeria is Africa’s biggest petroleum producer, but unrest in the increasingly lawless oil field region has cut production.

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.
