British Hostages "To Be Freed Soon"
A Nigerian militant group promised on Sunday to release a sick British hostage held for more than six months. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta said in an e-mail that Robin Barry Hughes will be freed very soon but nothing mentioned of a second British hostage, Matthew Maguire. The statement added that Hughes would be returned to his employer Hydrodive "after putting measures in place to ensure his safety to the drop-off zone for onward journey to reunite with his family."
Hughes and Matthew John Maguire were among a group of oil workers abducted when gunmen took control of their vessel. The statement said nothing about Maguire.
