Seven officers of the Nigerian Navy have been abducted in Edo State.
The security personnel were abducted on Sapele-Warri road while travelling to Delta State from Kaduna.
Five of the naval officers have, however, been rescued by the police, sources said.

“We rescued five and two others are yet to be rescued. That is the one I am aware of,” he said.
