Three oil workers have been freed in Nigeria having been held captive for more than a month since being kidnapped from a platform operated by Niger Delta Petroleum Resources (NDPR).
The British, Nigerian and Canadian workers were receiving treatment in a Nigerian hospital for “the considerable trauma they suffered”, according to local media reports.
A local police spokesman said there had been no ransom demand and that the trio were discovered in forest terrain close to where they had been abducted, adding: “We had been tracking them and the gunmen were not there.”
