House Chair, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that South African Nick Greyling, a sound engineer for M-Net SuperSport who was held hostage in Nigeria, was released on Monday evening by his captors;
2) further notes that Greyling and two Nigerian colleagues - cameraman Alexander Effiong and commentator Bowie Attamah - were taken from their bus on Monday in the Imo province, near the Oweri Airport where Effiong escaped soon after the attack;
3) recognises that the speedy resolution of their situation was due to negotiations with the hostage-takers by the Nigerian authorities;
4) thanks the Nigerian government for its co-operation and assistance in negotiating a peaceful resolution; and
5) wishes Greyling a safe journey home.
Agreed to.
