Owing to Bangladesh's friendly relations with Libya and through negotiation of Bangladesh's ambassador, the Libyan government has allowed the duo to return home.
Earlier, the Bangladeshi journalist, engineer, and the driver had been reported missing in Libya since 23 March.
Zahidur Rahman, 48, a special correspondent for TV station NTV, went to Libya on 21 March.
His family could not reach him and claimed they learned from different sources that Zahidur and Saiful were picked up from Libya's war-ravaged capital Tripoli.
