Two Italian priests and a Canadian nun abducted in Cameroon, have been freed.
The three Catholics were kidnapped almost two months ago in the north of the country by suspected Boko Haram gunmen.The ex-hostages are said to have boarded a plane to the capital, Yaounde, on Sunday where they were warmly received by some Ministers.
The three were kidnapped by gunmen from the building where they were staying in the northern district of Maroua in the early hours of 5 April.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack but suspicion has fallen on militant Nigerian group Boko Haram.
Boko Haram Islamists kidnapped another priest as well as seven members of a French family in northern Cameroon last year. Meanwhile, the ten Chinese tourists abducted by this same Group are still in their custody. efforts are underway to secure their release.
