Kidnapping in the Niger Delta continues to be a problem, but recently it appears to have become more violent. Two Americans were killed in separate kidnap attempts in April in Port Harcourt, and since January 2009 at least 111 foreign nationals have been kidnapped and six of them have been killed. The U.S. State Department recommends avoiding all but essential travel to the states in the Niger Delta region, the southeastern states of Abia, Edo and Imo, and the city of Jos in Plateau state. The risk of kidnapping, robbery and other armed attacks in these areas is high.
