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 firm with offices in Dallas, Tampa,
and Atlanta - noted that 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 their employee, but said Stilianos was in
negotiations with the firm for workshop space.
