Kidnapped -Megan Darlington

       Seven foreign workers have been seized and a security guard shot dead by gunmen who attacked a construction company site in northern Nigeria. No-one has admitted the abductions but the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, has staged a series of attacks in northern Nigeria. Correspondents say it is the biggest kidnapping in northern Nigeria in recent times. The kidnapping of foreigners and wealthy Nigerians is common in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, in the south of the country, and has become a lucrative trade for criminals. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21491628
