'Five killed' in Nigeria oil raid |
| Home | (BBC) - Five Nigerian soldiers have been killed in a raid on an oil field in which five South Koreans were kidnapped, a group of oil militants says. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) said it might swap the hostages for a local leader charged with treason. Mend has staged several attacks in Nigeria's main oil producing region to demand more oil wealth for locals. |
