German archaeologist Professor Peter
Breunij and his research assistant Johannes Buringer who were kidnapped on
Wednesday in Kaduna have been released.
The professor, the leader of a
four-man team from the University of Frankfurt, Germany working on historical
finds in Nigeria, was abducted with his associate by five gunmen at Jenjela
village in the Kagarko local government area.
The Kaduna State Government
confirmed the release of the Germans through a statement from Samuel Aruwan,
media aide to Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, saying the governor commended the
security agencies for their success in securing the release of the Germans.
