Chinese of $11,700 (Kwanzas 12m) over ransom demand. The paper said the
Nigerian used guns to execute their crime.
The Chinese national, a 53-year-old bricklayer, was reportedly
kidnapped at Arimba commune and held for 72 hours by the criminals. He
was freed after a ransom was paid, Jornal de Angola reported.
It added that the three Nigerian nationals were later arrested in the capital Luanda.
