Three Nigerian crew members who were kidnapped from a small passenger boat in April have been released.
On the night of the 8th April 2015 a small passenger boat, operated by French company Bourbon, was boarded by pirates off of the Nigerian coast. Three Nigerian crew members were taken hostage.
Just over 4 weeks after the kidnapping took place, it has been announced that all three hostages have been released and appear to be in good health.
