ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Seven oil workers who were kidnapped from an offshore oil field in the Niger Delta were released Monday after two days in captivity, police said.
The workers — three foreigners and four Nigerians — were seized Saturday night after gunmen in more than 30 speedboats attacked a field operated by Royal Dutch Shell. It was the first major attack since the president began a peace process in the region five months ago.
Bayelsa state police spokesman Inyebom Inidong told The Associated Press they were released, but gave no other details.
