ABUJA, July 26 (Reuters) - Four Turkish nationals abducted
last week in the central Nigerian state of Kwara have been
rescued, the police said on Friday.
The Turkish were kidnapped at gunpoint by six armed men, 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 cargo
ship off Nigeria's coast and kidnapped 10 Turkish
sailors.
