- 6 years ago
And now to an update on the kidnapping late last month of three South Korean crewmen in waters off Ghana.
South Korean authorities say that, while they cannot release too much information publicly,... the kidnapped Koreans are now believed to be in southern Nigeria.
The Korean government is reportedly providing *indirect aid to the company that owns the hijacked vessel.
That company is believed to be in negotiations with the pirates,... who are assumed to be Nigerian nationals.
Seoul's foreign ministry has declined to comment on those extra details, but said local authorities are working closely with Korea's anti-piracy Cheonghae unit to bring the Koreans home unharmed.
