An American aid worker who was kidnapped in Niger more than six years ago and held hostage by terrorists has finally been released.
President Joe Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed that Jeff Woodke has been released on Monday.
Long-time aid worker Woodke was kidnapped in Abalak in October 2016, and was the first American citizen to be abducted in the Sahel region.
In a statement Sullivan said: I'm gratified & relieved to see the release of U.S. hostage Jeff Woodke after over six years in captivity. The U.S. thanks Niger for its help in bringing him home to all who miss & love him.
'I thank so
