GUNMEN Monday (today) abducted an unspecified number of Dangote Cement workers with several shots.
The workers were returning from work Monday evening when they were ambushed by suspected bandits at Okpella in Edo State, a town near Okene in 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 by 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.
