Nigerian Kidnappers Release Foreign Oil Workers, Police Say

Nigerian kidnappers have released at least some of the eight foreign oil workers they took hostage two days ago in the Niger River delta, a police spokesman said.

Police spokesman Haz Iwendi said he didn’t know how many of the eight hostages, six Britons, a Canadian and a U.S. citizen, had been freed. The released hostages were travelling to the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
