Three foreign oil workers were kidnapped from a car under armed escort in Port Harcourt, a day after a U.S. oil executive was shot dead in the Nigerian city.
Police and industry sources said that the abduction of the employees of Italian oil contractor Saipem was sparked by a dispute between the company and the community where it was working and that efforts were underway to secure their release.
Police said one suspect had been arrested.
