Kidnapping of expatriates by armed gangs seeking ransom money has been rife over the years in Nigeria's oil producing southeast, but in Lagos victims have usually been locals.
Police spokesman Frank Mba said reports indicated the man, who has not been named, was abducted at about 11pm on Saturday night while on his way home from a nightclub in the high-end residential and business neighbourhood of Victoria Island.
