There is still no news about the possibility of rescuing the Sri Lankan Engineer, Mr. D.A. Karunadasa (68) who was kidnapped while serving at a private construction Company in Nigeria.

It is reported that the ransom demanded is about 50 crores in Sri Lankan currency and that this money has been demanded from the Italian Company for which he was attached to. Whatever it is, the amount of money has not been officially announced.

The said Sri Lankan has served at Borini Prono, an Italian construction Company in Nigeria. This Sri Lankan has been kidnapped some days ago at the Ondo and Kogi Province border. At the moment he was abducted, the person who worked as the Sri Lankan's driver by the name of Britrus Dada too has sustained injuries during the attack by the ransom-seekers.
