Kidnapped German archaeologists freed in Nigeria
Nigerian security forces have freed two German archaeologists who were abducted at gunpoint in the country's Kaduna state last week. Gunmen had been demanding a ransom of 60 million naira (over ₹1.2 crore) for the release, reports said. The archaeologists were part of a four-member team from Frankfurt's Goethe University, who were researching relics of the ancient Nok culture.
