Two Nigerian navy sailors were killed in the attack, two more were injured, and four foreigners were kidnapped.
The foreigners work for Sea Trucks Group, an international oil services firm and were from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Iran.
Nigeria has been trying to build up their oil industry, recently announcing an all time high of production at 2.7 million barrels a day.
Kidnapping and piracy have been on the rise off the Nigerian coast, with seventeen attacks being recorded so far this year alone.
