20 people, who were abducted by Boko
Haram militants in Cameroon have been
reportedly freed by the nation’s army.
The abductions took place over the
weekend, in the villages of Maki and Mada
near the city of Mokolo in Cameroon’s Far
North region.
A spokesperson of Cameroon’s defence
ministry confirmed that the hostages
were freed on Monday, January 19, in
Yaounde.
According to British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC), the spokesperson was
quoted as saying the captives were freed
“as defence forces pursued the attackers
who were heading back to Nigeria”.
Many of those kidnapped in the cross-
border raid were said to be children.
