Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, on Wednesday, has received 10 expatriates that were rescued by security agencies in the state from the den of kidnappers.
The foreign sailors were kidnapped on November 25 from their vessel along the Pennington River in neighbouring Delta State and brought into Bayelsa.
The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Daniel Alabrah, in a statement listed the victims as three Lebanese, four Indians, two Egyptians and one Cameronian.
An official of the Department of State Services (DSS), who presented the freed vessel workers to Governor Diri at the Government House in Yenagoa, said it took the concerted effort of security personnel in both Bayelsa and Delta States to rescue them.
