Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta denied involvement in the abduction of the contractors.
Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) — Four Shell contractors — three Britons and a Colombian — have been released after being kidnapped a week ago, a police spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The abductions in the oil-rich Niger Delta happened last Tuesday when attackers ambushed a bus in which the four were traveling, according to Rita Inoma, a police spokeswoman in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
The former hostages were doing well, Inoma said.
It was unclear where the hostages had been held and what prompted their release.
The ambush last week killed a police constable and wounded a driver, Inoma said.
The bus was traveling from Port Harcourt, which is southeast of here, the Nigerian capital, to Afam, Nigeria, Inoma said.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), which is known for its kidnappings of oil workers in the region, had announced after the abduction that it had no involvement in the kidnappings of the Shell contractors.
The militant group has demanded a fairer distribution of the country’s oil wealth and for the release of its members imprisoned by the government.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
