Happy news indeed!
Jan’s brother, Andy, was released from detention today. He boarded a plane out of Abuja, Nigeria, earlier this evening and is currently en route to Frankfurt. He should be home in New York tomorrow afternoon.
Jan and I are both very grateful for all of your efforts on Andy’s behalf. Thanks so much for your communications with senators (ten of whom issued a public letter to the Nigerian president today calling for Andy’s release), congressional representatives, people in the media, and the U.S. State Department. Every e-mail and phone call helped, I’m sure.

hooray!!!!
Wonderful news!
Thank Goodness! I know that everyone is counting the minutes until he is safe and sound on US soil.
So happy to see this update! I hope you’re all able to get together very soon.
I’m so relived to read this – did the folks he was with get out as well?
How great! I hope his translator was freed as well.
