LAGOS, Nigeria – Police in a north Nigeria city where a radical Islamist sect attack last week killed 185 people say that a German expatriate working for a construction company has been kidnapped there.
Kano state police spokesman Magaji Musa Majiya said the man worked for Dantata & Sawoe in the city of Kano. Majiya said two gunmen in a sedan abducted the German Thursday while he was at a construction site.
Majiya said officers continue to investigate the abduction.
The German Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, declined to comment.
