Russian, Estonian sailors released from Nigerian captivity

Crew members of the Bourbon Liberty 249 anchor handling vessel, who were kidnapped in Nigeria’s oil-producing southern region in mid-October, have been released on Thursday, the Estonian Foreign Ministry said.

There were six Russians and an Estonian among the 16 sailors. No details were available about how the release was effected. Nigerian militants regularly target foreign workers involved in oil production, taking them for ransom.
