2 not 3 Indian oil workers seized: Nigeria police

Port Harcourt (Nigeria), May 20: Two, rather than three, Indian staff of a petrochemical firm were kidnapped yesterday by gunmen in the Nigerian oil heartland of Port Harcourt, police said today.

Yesterday an army spokesman had said three Indians were abducted from their residence by suspected militants armed with dynamite and machine guns.

Indian authorities have said the men's employer, Eleme Petrochemical Company, majority-owned by Indonesia's Indorama, had received a ransom demand from the hostage-takers.
