Warri, Nigeria - Six Nigerian contractors working for US oil giant ChevronTexaco and two naval officers were kidnapped in two separate incidents on Wednesday, but four oil workers were later released, authorities said.

The Nigerian navy despatched a warship to the remote area of the Niger delta in the south of the African country to secure the release of the four still in custody.

"We have sent a naval warship to flush out the boys," said Commander Joseph Manusibeya, executive officer at the Warri naval base.
