4 foreign workers abducted off Nigeria coast freed
None
Four foreign oil and gas contractors kidnapped off the coast of Nigeria's volatile oil-rich southern delta have been freed, their company said Thursday.
The four men were in good health when officials recovered them Wednesday night from the Niger Delta region, said spokeswoman Corrie van Kessel of the Sea Trucks Group, an oil and gas contractor with offices in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She said the men received medical checkups after their release and were safe. "It looks as if it's all OK," van Kessel said. "We've informed their families and the local consulates." (AP)
