MM,
Sadly it seems that things in Nigeria will get worse before they get better. Families, including women and children are now being kidnapped. The violence is spreading further afield as the latest kidnappings have happened at the Eleme Petrochemical plant and the Ikot Abasi Auminium smelting plant. Eleme was recently (and controversially) sold to an Indonesian company and Ikit Abasi to a Russian company. In both cases attacks were made on the residential areas, using dynamite to blast in through the walls. The lack of any immediate, decisive action by a new President who is perceived by many as a puppet, installed after a flawed vote, can only encourage more widespread violence in southeastern Nigeria
