Yet-to-be-identified gunmen allegedly dressed in military outfits have abducted two foreigners in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

It was gathered that the expatriates were kidnapped at noon on Thursday, by armed men who escaped with the victims through Ndoki Street waterfronts.

It was learnt that the suspected gunmen drove in two Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and a Hummer Bus, all with tinted glasses into the scene of the incident at Ndoki Estate.
