The gunmen shot dead a guard at the camp before kidnapping the foreign workers.
Moreover, Adamu Aliyu, who is the chairman of the local government area that encompasses Jama’re, identified those kidnapped as one British citizen, one Greek, one Italian and four Lebanese while also the Italian news agency ANSA later said authorities confirmed an Italian had been kidnapped in the attack.
In fact, Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi's saying was quoted, that the safety of the hostage must be given absolute priority while also The Foreign Office of both Britain and Greece informed that they were hunting into the kidnappings.
Perhaps, this kind of incident hampers the world peace and ruins the cultural and traditional elements that every country is enriched with in, while also bringing sorrow and shame for us all.
Therefore, we must all understand the value of life and see that the world peace is intact in it's place because, there is nothing more joyous than peace in life!
