Police in Ogun state in southern Nigeria rescued two Chinese nationals who were kidnapped earlier this month according to officials.

Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesman for the Ogun police said in a Reuters report that the two were working for a quarry company in the state, which is just north of Lagos, when they were taken by unidentified gunman on September 1.

“None of them was hurt and no ransom was paid,” Oyeyemi said of the recovery operation. The kidnappers had not been captured but police were on their trail, he said.
