A sailor Valery Zubitsky, who was taken prisoner by the Nigerian pirates with a part of the crew of a Swiss commercial ship MV Glarus, returned home to Odesa, as Dumskaya reported.
He left the arrivals area with two people wearing civilian clothes. Probably, those were the law enforcers.
The sailor refused to comment anything. He only said that he felt fine. Valery left the airport in a car.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin informed about Valery’s return earlier.
Reportedly, on September 22, the pirates captured the Swiss merchant vessel MV Glarus. It was carrying a wheat, left Lagos, Nigeria and headed to Port Harcourt. The pirates boarded the vessel on the way to the southwest of Bonny Island having captured 12 crew members out of 19.
