DFA confirms Pinoy
abducted in Nigeria |
|
By Francis Earl A. Cueto, Reporter
THE Department of Foreign Affairs
on Tuesday clarified that a Filipino was indeed included in the
earlier reported kidnapped oil workers by rebels in Nigeria last
week.
A day after issuing a statement
which denied rumors of another abduction, the DFA issued the
clarification to correct its own statement issued last Sunday when
it stated that no Filipino was among those kidnapped in Nigeria. It
said the Filipino was mistakenly identified to be an Indian
national.
