Ukrainian sailor from BBC Caribbean crew released in Nigeria

Nigerian pirates have released seven Russian sailors and one Ukrainian sailor after they were kidnapped early last month on the cargo ship the BBC Caribbean.

Sailors had been released after talks between the owners of the ship and the pirates, Censor.NET reports citing Radio Liberty.

The sailors were at the Frankfurt airport and would return home next week.

The BBC Caribbean cargo vessel belongs to the German Briese Schiffahrts cargo company. It was attacked in Nigeria's waters on February 5.
