Cameroun’s Communication Minister, Issa Bakary, on Friday said
he was
surprised by the news that some hostages kidnapped by Boko Haram
militants in Northern Cameroun were released as reported by a news
website.
“You are the first to give me that information,” the minister said.
According
to the report, Boko Haram militants have released the wife of
Camerounian Deputy Prime Minister, Amadou Ali, 10 Chinese workers and
district heads who were kidnapped in different attacks.
The
Chinese workers were found missing and believed to be taken by the
Nigerian Islamist rebels on May 16 after an attack at a Chinese work
site in northern Cameroun.
The wife of Amadou Ali was also
believed to be kidnapped on July 27 by Boko Haram militants in Kolofata
but the group did not claim responsibility.
Camerounian President
Paul Biya in August strengthened military operations in the far north
Region to fight against Boko Haram militants.
