HIGHLIGHT
Two German Archaeologists who were recently kidnapped in Kaduna state have regained their freedom.
According to media reports, Professor Peter Breunia and Johannes Behirnger, were released unhurt late on Saturday by their abductors.
It is also confirmed that the victims have been re-united with officials of the German embassy in Abuja. But what can’t be confirmed is if ransom was paid.
They were released in Katari village, along the Kaduna – Abuja expressway, after intense pressure and surveillance around the forest by a combing team of Intelligence Response Team, Police Mobile Force and personnel of the state Anti-Kidnapping Unit.
The two Germans were kidnapped on the February 22, in a Kaduna deep forest where they were said to have gone for archaeological work to discover an ancient town that is no longer existing in the forest.
