Israeli Citizen Abducted in Nigeria

Israeli Citizen Abducted in Nigeria

(Wed: 12:44PM Israel time) An Israeli male, a resident of the center of the country, reportedly in his 60s, was kidnapped on Tuesday night in Port Harcourt, in Nigeria. He was taken by four armed men according to reports. The Foreign Ministry is involved and Israel�s ambassador in Nigeria is investigating the report.

Foreign Ministry officials in Israel admit that at present the motive for the kidnapping is unclear. The identity of the gunmen is unclear, pointing out in the past; there have been kidnappings in Nigeria that were related to business and other dealings.

The reported abduction comes at a time when Israel�s Counter-Terrorism Bureau has issued a global warning of Hizbullah�s intentions to abduct Israelis around the world.

The family of the kidnap victim has requested that the victim remains anonymous at this time. (Yechiel Spira � YWN Israel)
