Nigeria militants release crew

Militants in Nigeria have released six crew members they seized from an oil tanker, the Sichem Peace, nearly three weeks ago. The ship’s managers, EMS, said the six, including the Russian captain, were on their way to Lagos for medical checks. The militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend), said the release was part of a 60-day ceasefire announced last week.
