The eight Polish crew kidnapped by pirates from a container ship off the coast of Nigeria in October, including three other nationals, are safe and will be reunited with their families, Poland’s Foreign Ministry says in a statement today.
“We would like to thank the shipowner, its co-workers and advisers for their professional handling of this difficult matter. We are grateful also to the Nigerian authorities,” the statement says.
