However, Anjarwalla, who had been in detention alongside Gambaryan, was said to have escaped from custody.

He escaped on Friday from an Abuja guest house where the duo were detained after guards on duty led him to a nearby mosque for prayers.

The Briton, who also has Kenyan citizenship, has reportedly left Abuja through a Middle East airline.
