A US citizen is now free after being held in Niger. The individual, a missionary, was taken from near their residence. This incident occurred many months ago, in the fall of last year.

Details about the kidnapping are limited, but it is known that no group took credit for the act. The US government had warned of a high risk of such incidents in the area. The missionary's release was confirmed by the FBI director and acknowledged by the president on social media, where the individual was described in positive terms.
