The police in Edo confirmed the kidnap.

The Police in Edo on Monday said an Israeli working with Setraco Construction Company has been abducted by gunmen.

The Police Public Relation Officer, Moses Eguavoen, confirmed the incident to journalists in Benin.

He said that the Israeli was allegedly kidnapped at Upper Mission Road in Benin.

Mr. Eguavoen said that one of the soldiers on guard duty was reportedly shot by the kidnappers before abducting the expatriate.

Two soldiers were drafted to provide security for the expatriate after they had stopped work on a road project in the Edo capital. They abandoned work on the road due to incessant kidnappings in the state.

“One of the soldiers was allegedly shot, but I cannot confirm if he is dead. The police have commenced investigation into the abduction to unravel those behind the act,” the spokesman said.

“We want to assure the public of safety of their lives and property.”

There is something wrong with the alertness of our security men they seem not be vigilant when faced with danger. Had a similar case 2 years ago where some mopol guarding some expatraite in my company where coming from the hotel to the factory at Agbara, some were sleeping another was listening to music with ear plugs in his ears and dare devil arme robbers/ smugglers opened fire on them and killed them on the spot.

Back to the topic, the Isrealis are known never to negotiate with terrorist... lets see what will happen with this one they might do the Entebbe Airport part 2

Abeg!

Sure say no be the nigerian jews dem kidnap thinking they are the israeli!

Safe return i wish him...Nigerian kidnaps has rare rescue success.

Nigerians,i dey hold my ear talk o! U can never win the war if isreal start, abeg make una free d person wey una abduct and kidnap my papa in his place. Pls o!

Edo state with their kidnapp wahala again. No wonder the road projects are slow. The soldiers that guard the RCC expertrate staff along ugbowo always have their hands on their trigger and always alert. They should go and see the chinese construction workers in ogbomoso they don't even have police escort and move freely all through the day. I weep for my beloved edo state. When will this issue of kidnapp come to an end

lol. I!!

Look up! Its a bird! Its a plane! No its a drone!

True story! The expatriate was kidnapped this afternoon. I think say na diesel dey flow for 9jeria army veins ooo.

75m nigerian youths are jobless, and some people are busy asking 'when'l kidnapping end in naija' the sooner the company pays the ransom the better for the dude. If Israel thinks that commando method works in nigeria they should ask their brothers (Germany and Italy) what happened the last time they tried. Good luck!

I!

This one sounds like na "cash and carry" operation - unlike Ansaru's ruthless style of killing hostages. So, I'm sure once money exchanges the necessary hands, he will be released (no drone business or rescue plan). It's a shame though as it only encourages the thriving of the 'kidnapping industry'.
(Btw, I wonder if Setraco ever found the bodies of the 7 foreign employees that were kidnapped? ..this thread)?

Israel, michael and not Isreal, Micheal.
