Foreign workers 'seized' in Nigeria

Here we go again....I'm glad I don't work in some of these countries.

Hope it all ends well.

At least six construction workers, some of them foreigners, have been seized by gunmen who attacked a camp in northern Nigeria, officials say.
One of the workers seized was Italian and at least one other was said to be Lebanese.
But UK officials could not confirm a report that another was British.

Here we go again....I'm glad I don't choose to work in some of these countries.

Sad story, but it was their choice.
If the contract includes bonus payment of danger money then you know what you are choosing to do.
If the contract also includes the provision of armed guards then you know exactly what the danger you are choosing to get paid for is.

Fair points but I doubt their families will settle for them returning should they be freed.

Islamists from Ansaru have claimed responsibility and it has been confirmed that one of the victims is British:
