YAOUNDE: Twenty-seven hostages seized by suspected militants from Boko Haram in Cameroon this year, including 10 Chinese workers, have been released, the Cameroon presidency said on Saturday.
The Chinese workers were seized in May near the town of Waza, 20 km (12 miles) from the Nigerian border.
The others freed include the wife of Cameroon's vice-prime minister who was seized in July, the presidency said.
