Two Americans and two Canadians kidnapped in Kaduna State on Tuesday are now freemen.
They were rescued on Friday night by the police, according to the spokesman for the state police command, Mukhtar Aliyu.
They are in good condition although they were first taken to an Abuja hospital for medical observation because of the trauma they experienced.
Aliyu said one suspect has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping.
The foreigners, who were expatriates with a company known as Anjee Solar Energy Company, based in Abuja, were returning from assignment in Kafanchan, Jema’a local government of the state when they were ambushed.
Two police escorts were killed in the process.
Kaduna Commissioner of Police Agyole Abeh said he was not aware any ransom was paid after interactions with officials of Canadian and American embassies.
According to him: “Early this morning (yesterday), the white men were seen emerging from the bush and we immediately went and rescued them.
“As we speak they are with their company’s officials. They are in good condition.”
