나이지리아 남부 니제르 델타에서 20일 러시아 근로자 2명이 무장괴한에 납치됐습니다.
납치된 근로자는 러시아 알루미늄 생산회사인 'UC러살' 소속이며, 이코트 아바시 항의 회사 관련 시설에서 납치됐습니다.
지난 3년간 나이지라 남부에서는 2백명 이상의 외국인이 피랍됐으며, 높은 몸값을 지불한 뒤 풀려나기도 했습니다.
지난 달에서 스코틀랜드 근로자가 납치됐다가 몸값을 내고 무사히 풀려났었습니다.

Gunmen in southern Nigeria kidnapped two Russians early today (Saturday) in the latest abduction of foreigners in the oil-rich delta region.
The victims are employees of the Russian aluminum company UC Rusal. They were taken from a company compound in the port town of Ikot Abasi.
More than 200 foreigners have been kidnapped in nearly three years of violence across the south of the country. The hostages usually are released after a ransom is paid.
A Scottish worker kidnapped in the same region a month ago was recently freed unharmed.
