Cameroonian forces have
rescued the wife of that country’s Vice Prime Minister, Amadou Ali, who was
abducted by suspected Boko Haram fighters on Sunday.
She was kidnapped
alongside a traditional ruler of Kolofata town.
Sixteen people were
reportedly killed during the rescue operation.
Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has sacked two senior army officers at the forefront of the battle against
Boko Haram.
No reason was given for
the dismissal of Colonel Youssa Gedeon and Lieutenant-Colonel Justin Ngonga.
They were in charge of the
military operations along the porous border with Nigeria.
The wife of Cameroon’s
deputy Prime Minister was kidnapped on Sunday along with her maid, a religious
leader and local mayor.
