The Polish crew of a cargo
vessel kidnapped last month off the Nigerian coast are safe and on their
way home, Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said on Tuesday.
"Everything ended happily. The sailors are safe and sound, we are glad that they are coming back to their families," Szydlo said at a televised news conference.
Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski thanked Nigerian authorities and the operator of the vessel, EuroAfrica, for their co-operation in efforts to free the crew.

Poland reported that woman whose husband is apparently on board the
vessel has told Poland's TVN 24 station that “more than a dozen sailors
locked themselves in the engine room and turned off the engines.”
