It has been reported that a passenger boat was attacked whilst underway in the Atabong area of Cross Rivers State, Nigeria. A number of armed perpetrators boarded the boat, firing warning shots intermittently to scare off the security operatives protecting the vessel. The perpetrators then took the boat, abducting three oil workers who were being transported to work. |
