A spokesman for the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC) has confirmed that two Royal Dutch Shell oil workers were kidnapped, and their police escorts killed, in Nigeria’s restive Delta region.
The workers were in Rivers State, returning from an official trip to Bayelsa State, when they were attacked, according to a Reuters report.
