British Woman Shot Dead By Kidnappers In Nigeria by uuzba(m): 10:30pm On Apr 21, 2019 |
From MSN Website 21/04/2019 Kidnappers in Nigeria have shot dead a British woman and a Nigerian man, and abducted three others, officials have said. Police and the British High Commission have named the woman as Faye Mooney and said they were aware of an incident which took place at a holiday resort on Friday but added that they would not speculate on a motive. Her next of kin have been informed. The Briton was working in Nigeria as a communications specialist for aid group Mercy Corps and was one of 12 tourists travelling to the northern city of Kaduna from Lagos, police said. In a statement, Mercy Corps said it was "utterly heartbroken" by the killing. Police said Ms Mooney, who worked in the west African nation for nearly two years, had been attending a party before the incident. A Kaduna state police spokesman said: "Some suspected kidnappers armed with dangerous weapons gained entry into a recreational resort called Kajuru Castle in Kajuru local government area shooting sporadically and in the process shot dead two persons, including an expatriate lady, and took away three others." Officers have not yet named the other person killed in the incident. No individuals or groups have said they are behind the killing and police are yet to identify the kidnappers. Northern Nigeria has been dealing with a Boko Haram and Islamic State insurgency and clashes between farmers and herders, in which hundreds have died. Kaduna has seen a spate of kidnappings by armed men in recent months. In a statement, the British High Commission said: "We are engaging with the Nigerian authorities, and we understand an investigation is under way." More follows...

This is tragic. Some countries base their entire economies on tourism, while we can't even keep a single foreign tourist safe. She was staying at Kajura resort: 1 Like

Sad but utterly predictable. Worldwide, tourists visit danger zones, and imagine themselves to be EXEMPT from dangers that locals face, simply because the tourists come from safer places where law and order prevail. Rio De Jeniro Brazil is infested with pickpockets and muggers, yet tourists flock there with expensive camera gear, looking for a good time, only to get robbed or worse. In the Philippines, Abu Sayaf Islamic terrorists kidnap and behead both locals and visitors for sport, yet tourists still flock to remote island resorts in that danger zone, looking for a good time, but often finding a grisly death at the hands of madmen. War zones in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, where violent death comes fast and cheap, still host carefree tourist groups, all drawn to the "exotic" local culture, but then winding up kidnapped for ransom, or to star in horrific "snuff movies" featuring their own decapitation by cackling homicidal maniacs. Then of course you have Nigeria, where the primary growth industry is ransom kidnapping, which does not deter both locals and foreigners from taking to the roads at all times of the day or night, in search of good times, that all too often wind up becoming the worst times of their lives, after they are harvested for the kill by desperate Fulani terrorist gangs that lay in wait along desolate stretches of highway. 1 Like |
