ABUJA, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Nigeria's most prominent militant group said on Monday it would release two South African oil workers kidnapped last week in the restive Niger Delta. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, who declared an "oil war" against oil companies and security forces on Sunday, said its action was a goodwill gesture to the South African government. "MEND will be ... releasing the two hostages to the care of the South African government representative at the earliest convenience after working out the modalities including safety concerns since the creek is now a war zone," the group said in an e-mailed statement.
