Nigeria-Kidnapped UK Girl Freed

World | July 9, 2007, Monday // 00:00

The Nigeria-kidnapped three-year-old British girl has been freed on Monday after her abductors held her for four days, BBC reported.

Margaret Hill's parents, Mike and Oluchi Hill, said she was in good health but "covered in mosquito bites".

Little Margaret was grabbed from a car on her way to school in the oil city of Port Harcourt last week. Previously, the kidnappers threatened to kill her unless her father agrees to take her place or the family pays ransom.

Her father Mike told Sky News that his daughter had returned "in a little bit of a trance", but soon began coming back to life and talking to her mother.

The child had been held "in the bush... in some sort of hut", he said.
