"Foreign Ministry on alert over kidnapping of Turks
Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül, who issued a statement about the kidnapping of the two Turkish engineers in the oil-rich African country of Nigeria, said on Saturday that the Turkish government was closely monitoring the affair and working for the men's early release.
The two engineers, who were identified by their employer Merpa, a Turkish telecommunications engineering company, as İlker İzci and Murat Orhan, worked for a subcontractor of Italian oil company Agip. They were driving Friday night in Port Harcourt when they were intercepted, according to the Nigerian police."
