Lagos - Forty one workers, including 16 expatriates, have been abducted to an unknown location in southern Nigeria, an oil workers' union leader said on state television yesterday.
Sina Luwoye, president of the PENGASAAN white-collar union, said the workers were seized from their base in Finima, on Bonny Island off Port Harcourt, where Mobil has a condensate plant. Nigeria's multi-billion dollar liquefied natural gas plant is also located on the island and has faced frequent disruptions from militant local people.
