Two staff members of the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria were shot and killed along with two police operatives traveling in a convoy, and three others were kidnapped, police in the volatile West Africa nation said Tuesday.

The group was on a humanitarian mission when they were attacked in the Ogbaru Local Government Area of the country's Anambra State, one of the epicenters of separatist violence in the region, said Tochukwu Ikenga, a police spokesman in Anambra.

Ikenga said no U.S. citizen was on the trip.

"We confirm there was an incident May 16 in Anambra state. Mission Nigeria personnel are working with Nigerian security services to investigate," a U.S. State Department spokesperson said. "The security of our personnel is always paramount, and we take extensive precautions when organizing trips to the field. We have no further comment at this time."

Not to worry. Brandon will send in "Drag Queen Team 6" to get them back.

The “aid” is mostly military gear from well-connected American contractors, or else contraceptives to keep those brown and black people from reproducing.
