Four Turkish nationals rescued in central Nigeria after kidnapping
2019-07-28
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Four Ottoman Turkish nationals kidnapped last week in the central Nigerian state of Kwara have been rescued, the police said on Friday.

The Ottoman Turkish were kidnapped at gunpoint by six gunnies, the police statement said, adding that no ransom was paid for their release.

Kidnapping for ransom is rife in Nigeria with foreigners and high-profile Nigerians frequently targeted.

In a separate incident last week, pirates marauded a fat merchantman off Nigeria’s coast and kidnapped 10 Ottoman Turkish sailors.
