SUBJECT: GREEK NATIONAL KILLED IN PORT HARCOURT



1. (SBU) Francis Lauze, Security Manager for Nigerian firm
Globestar Engineering and Construction Company (an affiliate
of French firm Stolt Offshore Services),confirmed the
killing of a Greek national, Anastassiou Stilianos, in Port
Harcourt on January 1, 2005. Daniel Oliseh, President and
CEO of oil service company Danglobe Consortium Limited - a
Nigerian oil service company with offices in Dallas, Tampa,
and Atlanta - noted the death appears to have been the result
of a hit-and-run incident, and not related to operations of
any energy firm. He denied reports that Stilianos was his
employee, but said Stilianos had been in negotiations with
the firm for workshop space.
