Shell and government workers freed in Nigeria: police.
They were freed on Wednesday, a week after being abducted. A fifth NEMA staff member was shot in the leg during the attack, as he ran to successfully evade capture.
Nnamdi, the police spokesman, said they were released with the aid of the police but that no arrests were made. He did not comment on security source reports that a ransom was also paid to free them.Three oil workers -- a Briton, a Canadian and a Nigerian -- kidnapped from their oil rig on Saturday, are still missing.
In that attack, half a dozen gunmen stormed the rig on Saturday in the Ogbele area of Rivers state, grabbing the three men and then heading off into the thick forest and swamps around.
