German Citizen Kidnapped in Nigeria

In the state of Kano in Nigeria, gunmen ambushed a vehicle, killed a policeman, and kidnapped a German citizen this week. The men were travelling to a construction site.

Advice

This incident is a reminder that many countries advise their citizens to avoid all travel to Kano state in Nigeria due to the unstable safety and security situation. Kidnapping for ransom is also common in some areas of Nigeria.
