Three abducted South Koreans have been released three weeks after being abducted by an unidentified armed group in Nigeria, the foreign ministry in Seoul said Saturday.
It was gathered that the two Koreans, who were abducted in southern Nigeria on December 12 are employees of Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., a major South Korean builder, according to Seoul’s Yonhap news agency.
The freed South Koreans have now been ferried to their country. Seoul’s foreign ministry said, further hinting that they are in good health.
During the abduction incident, members of the armed group killed four bodyguards, who are Nigerian soldiers, as well as two local drivers, Seoul said in the statement.
