Manila, PHILIPPINES: A sister of a abducted Filipina in Nigeria shows photographs of the victim (L) and her family (R) to journalists on her arrival at the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila, 09 February 2007. The Filipina mother of two was abducted in Nigeria's oil-rich Delta region near the centre of Port Harcourt in Rivers State. Philippine officials are seeking urgent checks on reports that the victim who was abducted in Nigeria's oil-rich Delta region has died while sources in Nigeria say the woman may have drowned falling off the kidnappers' boat or jumping overboard when they tried to assault her. Nigerian rebels campaigning for equitable share of Nigeria's vast oil earnings have been blamed for most of the kidnappings of foreigners, including 26 Filipinos recently abducted.
