Two American sailors were freed after being kidnapped by pirates off the coast of Nigeria last month.

The sailors were taken from an oil transport ship.

Two U.S. officials told ABC that the sailors were freed after a ransom was paid.

Both are safe and healthy.

The sailors worked for the maritime company Edison Chouest Offshore.
