Gunmen who on Thursday kidnapped a three-year-old British toddler in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, have threatened to kill her unless her father agrees to take her place, the toddler's mother, Mrs. Oluchi Hill has said. Margaret Hill, the daughter of an expatriate worker, was seized from a car on her way to school. Mrs. Hill told the BBC that the kidnappers had called her demanding a meeting in a town in Bayelsa State. She said they then allowed her to speak to her daughter who was crying. "They say I can bring my husband to swap with the baby," she was quoted as saying. Mike Hill, the father of the child, who has lived in Nigeria for 10 years, runs a bar in Port Harcourt. Meanwhile, a prominent militants group in the region, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has offered to help find the girl, according to the AP news agency. "We will join in the hunt for the monsters who carried out this abduction and mete out adequate punishment for this crime. We abhor all forms of violence against women and children," the group said in an e-mail sent to AP.
