Two Kidnapped Nnpc Staff Found Dead - This Is Not The Way Forward by Nobody: 8:54pm On Mar 22, 2010
The bodies of the two kidnapped workers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Abubakar A. Malabu and Bashir Danjuma were recovered in the bush in Delta State on Saturday.

Malabu and Danjuma were staff of the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), a subsidiary of the NNPC in Benin, Edo State. They were kidnapped March 13, 2010, by an unknown gang on their way to Delta State University, Abraka, for lectures where they were studying for a Masters Degree in Petroleum Economics.

Initially, when the news of their abduction broke out, NNPC officials declined comments.

A text message however revealed the shocking news yesterday.

The message, composed by one of their colleague Mr F.O. Johnson, read: "Messrs Bashir Danjuma and Malabu A. Ahmad of the NPDC who were declared missing since 13th of March, have been found dead inside a bush in Delta State."

He described the incident as 'unfortunate and shocking' adding that the bodies were found on Saturday Morning.

Phone calls put through to NNPC's spokesperson Dr Levi Ajuonuma were not answered and a text message was not replied.

Malabu's brother in-law, Alhaji Adamu Modibbo, however confirmed the story to Daily Trust on phone. He did not give details.

The two murdered staff hailed from the northern part of the country, which raised fresh security concern in the oil producing part of the country. Militants in the Niger Delta were known mainly for kidnapping of foreign oil workers and demanding for ransom.

Some staff of oil companies resident in Niger Delta who spoke to Daily Trust on the condition of anonymity said they were shocked when they heard what happened to their colleagues.

They said they are worried over their security in the Niger Delta region and urged government to fish out and bring the perpetrators to book. "It was really complicated, something must be done", said one of the NNPC staff working in the Niger Delta.

Daily Trust learnt that Danjuma who hailed from Yobe State was employed by NNPC in 2000 while Malabu was employed in 2003 as a geologist from Adamawa State.

In 2006 Malabu was loaned to Chevron Nigeria Limited by the NPDC were he attended two year course in United States of America between 2006 and 2008. Malabu survived by his wife and two children.

fellow Nigerians we all want emancipation for our Niger Delta brothers, but surely violence such as this which is meaningless is not the right way forward.

The Almajiris in the North will not let this death go just like that. They must retaliate in no distant time. Is like the millitants see the north as immigrants now.
Nigeria is fast moving to towards the brick and steel wall.
Watch this space.

Didn't you read the hand writting on the wall? "We don't want you in our land anymore". Am sure they are not the only non indigens in ND. They targeted them cuz they are from the north or maybe a relative of the perpetrators died in the Jos pogrom.

One of the victims i.e Malabu was a distant cousin of mine.

wat d press didnt write was dat there corpse was found with their head cut off[size=8pt][/size]. I think the killing was based on ritual facts, we either suspect cult members or political ritual.

May there soul rest in peace.

Its ethnic related, nothing like cult or ritual killing as far as this incedent is concerned. Am trying to see if itz connected to the killing of the Edo police chief in Ekiti last week. I might be a revenge.

People wont condemn the acts of those in the south, but when someone from the south is killed in the north, some bigot will start shouting pogrom and genocide. undecided

Well it's not new, killing has been the watchword of the ND, but they should know that he that pays evil with evil will surely reap evil.

This is so sad and unbelieveable. Abubakar Malabu and I were close friends while he stayed in Houston on assignment. So nice, and soft spoken. One of the most gentle people I have ever met.

I can still picture him with his wife and lovely kids,


This is so sad.

May his soul rest in piece!

Hausa/Fulani in the oil industry are now in the same category with expatriates. Only they are not worth any ransome, what will be taken from them is their lives.

This is so sad, with his head cut off you say? cry cry cry
I used to think such sectarian violence could not affect me until an uncle of mine was kidnapped in January on his way from my home town. The following day, his car was found burnt to ashes in Bauchi.
We still have not seen or heard from him or his kidnappers. cry cry cry
This is the second family member in less than 8 months.
