Gunmen abduct four construction workers in Bayelsa

Gunmen have kidnapped four construction workers at a dredging site along the Nembe waterways in Nembe Local Government area of Bayelsa State.

It was gathered that the four workers are Nigerian nationals attached to Setraco Nigeria Ltd, the construction firm handling the Bayelsa-Delta flank of the East-West road.

The workers were reportedly whisked away on Saturday night along the Agbakabriye by the gunmen. They were at the construction site around the Ogbia-Nembe road.

The abducted workers were identified as Caleb Agene, Otuke Magic Kingdom, Gabriel Oghene and Godwin Odukpong.

“The dredging crew members were whisked away from their dredging base by the armed men who came in a speedboat.

“We heard sporadic shooting Saturday night but we never knew it was from the dredging firm base,” a witness told newsmen on Sunday.
