Two Italian priests and a Canadian nun seized in April by suspected Boko Haram gunmen in Cameroon, have been freed, an AFP reporter said Sunday.
The three ex-hostages were flown out of Maroua airport, in Cameroon’s far north near the border with insurgency-wracked Nigeria, on board a military aircraft on Sunday morning.
According to a Cameroonian security source, they were released in the early hours of Sunday and picked up by Cameroonian troops near the border with Nigeria, where they were being held captive.
