A British oil worker freed after being held captive for more than six months in Nigeria is to remain in the country for another week.
Robin Hughes, 59, originally from St Margaret’s Bay, Kent, was among 27 oil workers kidnapped when their oil supply vessel was hijacked by militants.
A second British hostage is still being held captive.
He was released on Sunday on health grounds but must remain in Nigeria to undergo further medical treatment.
Speaking after his release, his family said he had been suffering from a foot infection and was on antibiotics.
Mr Hughes lives in Brazil with his wife and 16-year-old daughter, but is expected to return to the UK for the wedding next month of his niece.
