Niger Delta rebels condemn kidnapping of child |
| Home | (The Observer) - The main militant group in Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta yesterday condemned the abduction for ransom of a three-year-old British girl and said that it should not be confused with the political struggle in the region. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), which is fighting for local control of oil revenues by blowing up oil installations and occasionally seizing adult hostages, said it was part of the search for the kidnapped toddler. |
