He said: “I was really worried about the captain. He wasn’t well. He wasn’t breathing right.
“I told the militants if they didn’t release him he was going to die.
“They didn’t want to release him but the villagers helped put pressure on the militants saying: “He needs to go to hospital” and we got them to release him.”
Mr Hughes’ brother Simon, 48, praised Mr Maguire’s selfless actions.
He said: “It was such a relief to us that Mr Maguire was there and could see how bad Barry was.
“We just want to thank him for everything he did.”
