A medical missionary who was shot and kidnapped in Nigeria Sunday night was released this week after ransom was delivered.
Dr. Bob Whittaker on Tuesday was returned to the compound of Nigerian Christian Hospital (NCH), where he has worked as a missionary for 24 years, according to the Arkansas-based International Health Care Foundation (IHCF), which oversees several hospitals across Africa, including NCH. The sum of the ransom was not released.
Whittaker is currently in stable condition, recovering from a gunshot wound in his left arm that shattered his humerus.
