Polish sailors freed after being kidnapped off Nigeria

On Tuesday, Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydło and Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski announced the release of five Polish sailors who were kidnapped last month off the coast of Nigeria. "It all ended well. I'm very happy that the Polish sailors are coming home to their families safe and sound, and that they'll be able to spend the holidays with their families," Szydło said. On November 29, Nigerian sea pirates hijacked the general cargo ship, Szafir, near the African coast. The ship was traveling from Antwerp to Onee in Nigeria with 16 Poles on board. Five of them had been detained and the ship was let free. The Prime Minister didn't reveal whether Poland had paid a ransom.
