Authorities confirmed the kidnapping and release of foreign expatriates in Nigeria‘s respective Kogi and Kebbi states, according to reports released on 19 May. In the first incident, a Sri Lankan national employed by the Burni Coli Construction Company was seized near the Kogi State settlement of Yari. The victim, whose security escort was killed and driver wounded during the abduction, was seized while travelling between Okene to the neighbouring state of Ondo. In a separate incident, authorities confirmed the 15 May release of an Irish national. The victim, a Catholic priest, was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen on 12 May. There is a high threat of kidnapping across Nigeria. Although it remains unclear who was behind this latest abduction, both organised criminal syndicates and Islamist militants are known to conduct kidnappings and have an operational presence in the region. Both groups periodically abduct locals and foreign nationals for the purposes of ransom and extortion. Due to various security concerns, all non-essential travel to Nigeria is advised against. Persons in or planning to travel to the country are advised to implement comprehensive travel, residential and personal security measures and consider the use of a security escort, particularly if travelling outside of major urban centres. Clients are further advised to avoid travel after dark as far as practically possible. – by red24 |
Acting on a tipoff officers from Complex Patrols teamed up with SAPS and raided a unit of a complex on Parklands Main, according to the informant we would only be able to get the exact unit this morning but the informant had no idea how resourceful Complex Patrols are and the unit was hit 2 hours later. One young female arrested for forgery/fraud of legal documents. This activity turned out to be a family business as the females father was found with even more forged documents and he was also arrested. The “permits” we were told, lay in the unscented oil to thicken and give a sheen finish when dried. This is just the tip of the iceberg insofar as manufacturing these illegal documents are concerned, the documents were going to a border post to be stamped this morning! Well done SAPS and Complex Patrols. – information from messages from Complexpatrols. WE SUPPORT ANTICORRUPTION @RELOAFRICA #ANITCORRUPTION
