A private security official says a Filipino ship captain was killed and two Russians were kidnapped in attacks in Nigeria’s troubled oil-producing region.

The two Russians were seized by gunmen in speedboats during a pre-dawn raid Saturday in the southern state of Akwa Ibom. The captain of an oil services supply vessel was shot dead during a similar attack in the same state late Friday. (AP)
