Attacked Dangote staff bush
Gunmen ambush, abduct Dangote staff, wound several in attack
Bandits were said to have abducted an unspecified number of Dangote Cement workers Monday, shhiting several workers during the attack.
The abducted workers were said to be returning from work in the evening when they were ambushed by suspected bandits at Okpella in Edo, border town near Kogi State.
Witnesses said it was unclear how many people were wounded or the severity as of Monday evening.
“Other people are in the bush. My colleague has bullet wounds. A coaster bus filled with staff was attacked at Okpella. Kidnappers,” a witness said. “They kidnapped our whole staff bus. Kidnappers took our staff.”
Michael Odofin, a spokesperson for Okpella Cement Plc, confirmed the attack and abduction.
“I cannot give any details right now. The attack is still fresh. We have no one killed,” said Mr Odofin.
