Cameroon's president has said that 27 hostages, including 10 Chinese workers, held by suspected Boko Haram militants have been released.

Also freed was the wife of Cameroon's Vice-Prime Minister Amadou Ali.

President Paul Biya said that the hostages, seized in May and June close to the Nigeria border, were safe.

Boko Haram is seeking to establish an Islamist state in Nigeria but its fighters often cross the long and porous border with Cameroon.

Many Nigerian civilians in border towns have fled to Cameroon to escape Boko Haram attacks, which have been stepped up in recent months.

In June, Cameroon, Nigeria, Chad and Niger agreed to form a 2,800-strong regional force to tackle Boko Haram militants.

Cameroon has reinforced its troops in its northern regions.

President Biya said in a statement on state radio: "The 27 hostages kidnapped on May 16, 2014, at Waza and on July 27, 2014, at Kolofata were given this night to Cameroonian authorities.

"Ten Chinese, the wife of the Vice Prime Minister Amadou Ali, the Lamido (a local religious leader) of Kolofata, and the of their families kidnapped with them are safe."

No details were given on the circumstances of the release.

It's possible the Cameroon govt struck a deal with these terrorists/criminals. I'm aware some of BH commanders are under Cameroon custody.

So perhaps there was a swap, with some money to go with it.

What bothers me is that it's this same money and the commanders that was released that will sustain or elevate the terror activities of BH in Nigeria. May God protect His children from harms way. Amen.

I truly believe that a swapping deal took place. The camerounians did that to their own best interest as against nigerians. We should watch out for more of boko troubles. God save us all

But cameroon claimed sometime back that it's Army launched a rescue mission and retrieved the vice prime minister's wife, how come this report says she is among the hostages released, this does not add up.
