Terrorist Groups Taking Root in Nigeria
Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 5:26 pmNigeria has continued to be a setting of foreign kidnappers. Nigeria is to remain thus if militant groups keep coming up. This time round, it is not the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) that has owned up to the kidnapping of German contractor.
Nigeria’s media received the following report after the attack."The Movement of the Niger Delta People hereby claims full responsibility for the possession and custody of Mr Didone Shephard." Didone is the German contractor who was abducted in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s new militant group demands that a former governor from this part of Nigeria and a militant be released from prison if the German is to enjoy freedom.
Nigeria’s new militant group does not need ransom. It also demands that German’s employer give local Nigerians more jobs. However, police in Nigeria claim that they know nothing about the German.
The German met his fate in Nigeria at the hands of armed militants in Nigeria’s busy Port Harcourt. Three other foreign oil workers in Nigeria were abducted just a day after.
