"Article 6 states that Article 5 covers only member states' territories in Europe, North America, Turkey, and islands in the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer."
With an attempt to be credible, are there any lessons we can learn from the Iran Hostage Crisis? I get the feeling that the Nigerians won't be as ideologically motivated as the Iranians were, but I expect a similar response from NATO

It's not really a hostage crisis when the 'hostage taker' just wants you to leave and you refuse to do so. That's actually the opposite of of a hostage crisis.
