Three hostages free

Three hostages, two of them Americans, kidnapped off Nigeria when gunmen attacked the "C Endeavour" working with oil giant Chevron, have been freed in the night of Dec 2, 2011, though it was unclear if ransoms were paid. Chevron confirmed that all three of the hostages taken in the November 17 incident had been freed. A private security source said the third hostage was a Mexican citizen, but Chevron declined to comment on their nationalities. Eight armed pirates had boarded the ship and attacked the crew, taking the three victims hostage.

Attack on supply vessel

Armed men boarded the "C Endeavor" contracted by U.S. energy company Chevron off the Nigerian coast early on Nov 18, 2011, which was the second attack by gunmen on Chevron contracted vessels off the state of Bayelsa this month. The vessel was off the coast, serving Chevron's Agbami field, when gunmen boarded it in the early morning hours. Three men may have been kidnapped. Chevron said it was investigating the situation.
