3 Dutch citizens freed

THREE Dutch citizens held hostage in Nigeria for nearly a week have been freed unharmed, officials in the Netherlands said yesterday.

The two men and a woman were freed Saturday evening and handed to the Dutch ambassador, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Joanne Doornewaard said. She added the Dutch government was not involved in any talks to free Erhard Leffers, Jandries Groenendijk and Marianne Vos.

The three were abducted on May 4 in the oil-rich Niger River Delta region while on their way to inspect a hospital built by Chevron Corp, Bayelsa state police said last week.
