AFRICA: NIGERIA: DELTA KIDNAPPERS FREE DUTCHMAN
A Dutchman abducted last week while working on an unfinished Shell gas plant in the violent oil-producing Niger Delta has been freed, said his employer Royal Boskalis Westminster.
Gunmen seized the hostage, Michael Los, on July 6 from a houseboat after disarming policemen on guard. It was the latest in a series of attacks on the oil and gas industry that have shut down a quarter of Nigeria’s crude output since February.
