AfricaNews is reporting that a Zimbabwean security consultant and a Somali aid worker working for Save the Children organization were kidnapped by unknown gunmen armed with heavy machine-guns in the town of Adado near the Ethiopian border.
The security consultant who is also believed to be a British national had reportedly gone to Adado to see if it was safe enough for Save the Children to set up a base there. “The gunmen, heavily armed with machine-guns, stormed the building where the men stayed and they took them,” local elder Mohamed Abdullahi told the AFP news agency.
Save the Children said it has no details on the pair’s well-being or whereabouts. Several foreigners have been kidnapped in Somalia in recent years.”
