Gunmen abducted Abdul Nasir on May 16th while he was on his way to a road construction site outside Sokoto city. Three policemen who tried to rescue him were killed.
According to the Sokoto State police spokeswoman, Cordelia Nwawe "Abdul Nasir was released on Tuesday at about 12:30 am (11:30 GMT) by his abductors. He was dropped off along Arkilla Road on the outskirts of the city."
It is unclear who abducted the Syrian or what led to his release but Nwawe said no ransom had been paid.
