Chinese nationals and others who were taken hostage by Boko Haram men
between May and July this year have been released.
Their release was made known in a statement released this morning by
Cameroon's Minister of Information, Issa Bakary
"The 27 hostages kidnapped on May 16 2014 at Waza and on July 27 that
Kolofata were given this night to Cameroonian authorities. Ten
Chinese, the wife of the Vice Prime Minister, Amadou Ali, the Lamido
of Kolofata, and members of their families kidnapped with them are
safe"
the statement read in part. It didn't state whether their release was
made possible through negotiations or if it was a voluntary act by the
sect members
