PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A Colombian man was believed killed in a militant attack on an oil installation in Nigeria's petroleum-rich Niger Delta, the Vanguard newspaper reported Friday.

Four others were reportedly abducted by the gunmen that attacked the Saipem Nigeria Limited facility in Rivers State.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack and abductions.

Nigerian militant groups began stepping up attacking on oil installation in late 2005 amid calls for more equitable distribution of petroleum profits.

In May, one of the main militant groups, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, said they would cease attacking installations while the country's new president attempted to implement election promises to reform the oil and gas sectors.
