Gunmen abducted an Italian engineer on Monday in Kwara State, central Nigeria, Italy’s foreign ministry told AFP on Thursday.

“We can confirm an Italian engineer has been kidnapped. We don’t yet know why or by whom,” said the ministry spokeswoman. Italian officials were in contact with Nigerian authorities and the man’s family, she added.

The ministry would not confirm the man’s identity. “As in all hostage cases, we cannot risk jeopardising the situation by releasing sensitive information,” said the spokeswoman.

Italian building and civil engineering firm Borini Prono confirmed that one of their employees had been abducted on Monday, but would not release further details.

“We’re waiting anxiously for a development,” a Borini Prono spokesman said. “We have a representative in Nigeria who is working closely with the government, local police and Italian embassy.

Borini Prono works mainly on road-building.

According to Nigerian police reports cited by the Corriere della Sera newspaper, unidentified armed men snatched the engineer as he inspected road-draining works in the city of Ilorin, the regional capital.

The kidnapping comes just two months after an Italian hostage was killed in Nigeria. Franco Lamolinara, who was also an engineer, was killed along with his British colleague Chris McManus during a failed rescue bid.

A faction of the Islamist Boko Haram sect was accused of being responsible for kidnapping the two engineers.

u r a bigfool guy;?!we kwarans r yorubas fed govt jx sharin rubbish.........omo yoruba noooni

Can u imagine a fool saying that kwarans are Gambaris. U can see how shallow some people on this forum are. Some dont even know states and capitals that nursery pupils recits talkless of a good knowledge of nigeria geography.

I guess kidnapping na national sport with the federal character very visible.

-We in the Niger delta are represented very well
-For the East dem are not lagging behind at all in this national sport
-Northerners enter with kidnapping of oyibo german and foreigners (weting SS and SE don do pass)
-Now Yorubas have entered the mix. I must say they are the most enterprising of the bunch. 2 months ago a group of 7 Yoruba men sew asoebi to match each other and off they went to go catch one arab guy like that.


Nigeria KWENU, KWENU, KWEZUONU

ak47mann: were are the Yoruba tribalist

you got it

So Kwara is now a "Yoruba" state abi?

On a 30 page threads, these same ediotic Igbos on this thread claimed that Kwara was a Northern state, which is inhabited by Fulanis, Hausa and Yorubas. Now it's a Yoruba state all in te name of postng something tribalistic. Cowards.

The sons of Ojukwu, a coward who ran from the face of battle.
