Gunmen Thursday stormed a residence in TarabaState, which housed foreign workers, killing two police guards in an attack a company source said was a failed kidnap attempt.
Police in the state confirmed the raid on the village of Tella at the site owned by the Triacta engineering firm, but declined to provide details, including whether the three Lebanese engineers working there were the target. But an official from Triacta, who
requested anonymity, told AFP that
“based on what has been happening (recently in Nigeria) we have every reason to believe that our expatriates were the target. It was a clear case of a failed kidnap.”
“Last night, there were shootings around the house where the expatriate construction workers are
living,” said resident Yonana Dauda.
“Two policemen guarding the house were shot dead.” The company official and other residents confirmed those details to Reuters, adding that the Lebanese engineers ran when the gunfire broke out and escaped the incident unharmed. - [Vanguard]
