Armed men boarded an oil supply vessel at Nigerian coast
Armed men boarded an oil supply vessel contracted by U.S. energy company Chevron off the Nigerian coast early on Friday, shipping and security sources said.
This would be the second attack by gunmen on Chevron contracted vessels off the coast of President Goodluck Jonathan's home state of Bayelsa this month.
"The MV Endeavour was off the coast, serving Chevron's Agbami field, when gunmen boarded it in the very early hours," one security source told Reuters. Two other sources close to the incident confirmed the details.
One of the sources said three men may have been kidnapped.
