Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Foreign Ministry is collecting information on the reported abduction of an Indonesian worker by a group of gunmen in an attack on barge in Nigeria on Saturday, the ministry's spokesperson said.
"We have contacted the Indonesian Embassy in Abuja to clarify the incident. The staff members of our embassy there are now gathering information on an Indonesian citizen who has reportedly been kidnapped," Michael Tene said here on Sunday.
A group of gunmen attacked a barge belonging to an oil servicing company in the waters off southeastern Nigeria on Saturday (August 4), killing two Nigerian sailors and abducting four foreigners, including an Indonesian.
The attack took place around 33 nautical miles off the coast of Bonny, Nigeria's main oil export terminal.
Netherlands-based Sea Trucks Group, whose boat Jascon was attacked, confirmed that four of its staff had been seized and that two other security guards were also wounded in the attack.(IGT)
