7 people kidnapped in Nigeria by Graysha Assoun

In Jos, Nigeria seven foreign workers were kidnapped on a late Saturday afternoon from a construction company. The workers include one Italian citizen, one Greek citizen and two Lebanese citizens when working in northeastern Nigeria. This company is involved in many road construction projects. The kidnapper was armed and attacked a prison and burned two police cars. The gunmen then killed a guard at the Setraco company before kidnapping the people. This, if looked at previous incidents, is a normal thing and happens a bit too much. These hostages will hopefully be found before its too late.
