Kidnappings of Chinese Nationals in Nigeria

The Diplomat published on 12 July 2019 an article titled "Fresh Kidnappings of Chinese Nationals in Nigeria" by Eleanor Albert.

The Chinese community in Nigeria numbers an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 persons. As the size of the community grows, the more susceptible it becomes to attack. Two recent kidnappings underscore this point although the kidnappings have not stymied the growth of economic ties between China and Nigeria.
