3 Western Oil Hostages in Nigeria Released
Adjust font size:

Three Western oil workers, including two Americans and a Briton, held in Nigeria's troubled oil-rich Niger Delta by militants for more than one month, have been released, a state government spokesman said on Monday.

"They were be released to the state government at about 3:20 AM (02:20 GMT) this morning," the Delta State spokesman told Xinhua by telephone. "They are all in good health and with (Royal Dutch) Shell officials, their employer."

He said the government had assured the Ijaw militants belonging to Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) that they would not be attacked by the Nigerian army after the release.

The MEND is not immediately available for comments.

The three hostages were seized along with six others on February 18 from a vessel laying a pipeline for by the militants in retaliation for military bombardment of their strongholds on the ground of rooting out oil thieves. The six others, however, were later released.

Originally, the militants are insisting on the demilitarization of the delta as a condition for the release. They also vowed not to compromise on its demands for the release of two ethnic Ijaw leaders, payment of US$1.5 billion compensation to Ijaw communities affected by Shell spillages.

Nigeria's oil output has been cut by about 630,000 barrels per day, or a quarter, after four-month attacks on oil facilities by the militants led by the MEND in the Niger Delta, the oil industry heartland in Africa's biggest oil exporter.
