French Firm: 7 Kidnapped Sailors Freed in Nigeria (TIME Blogs)
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Kidnappers freed six Russian sailors and an Estonian on Wednesday who had been abducted from a ship off Nigeria's southern delta, a French oil and gas services company said. Paris-based Bourbon SA said in a statement that the sailors were in good health despite facing "difficult conditions while in captivity." The company said the men would leave Nigeria in several days after undergoing medical tests and psychological examinations. The company statement said Bourbon would not take any questions regarding the sailors' release and did not say if a ransom had been paid to free them. Typically, foreign companies operating in Nigeria's Niger Delta pay cash ransoms to free their employees after negotiating down kidnappers' demands. Foreign hostages can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece. Military spokesman Lt. Col. Onyema Nwachukwu did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The kidnapping happened during an attack Oct. 15 on a Bourbon ship near the Niger Delta, where the company works closely with oil companies like Chinese-owned Addax Petroleum. Gunmen apparently attacked the Bourbon Liberty 249 and seized the sailors before escaping, the company said.
