Nigerian police say
gunmen have kidnapped two German archaeologists in the north of the country.
Media
report continues:
A
police spokesman said the pair were abducted from Kaduna state on Wednesday
morning.
The
police say the two were part of an archaeological team excavating a site in the
village of Jajela.
Reports
say they were from Goethe University in the German city of Frankfurt. Police
say there have been no ransom demands or contact from the kidnappers.
The
German foreign ministry declined to comment on the incident.
Kidnapping
is on the rise in Nigeria as the country suffers its worst economic crisis in
decades.
The city of Lagos recently
introduced the death penalty for those convicted of the crime.
