Security operatives in Cameroon have rescued wife of Vice Prime Minister Amadou Ali who was kidnapped by the Boko Haram sect on Sunday along with a traditional ruler of Kolofata town, reports BBC Hausa Service.
The reports say that 16 people lost their lives in the rescue operations, although Cameroon information minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary said government was still investigating the matter to ascertain the actual number of people killed.
The Boko Haram members carry out attacks in northern part of Cameroon from Nigeria where they established their base in the Sambisa Forest.
Last week, a Cameroonian court sentenced 14 members of the sect to 20 years imprisonment after they were arrested with weapons in March around Marwa in northern Cameroon, says the BBC Hausa report.
A local religious leader and mayor, Seini Boukar Lamine, was also kidnapped in a separate attack on his home.
Three people were killed during the daring raid.
Boko Haram fighters clashed with the Cameroonian army in cross-border attacks twice since Friday, killing four soldiers.
Cameroon has deployed more than 1,000 soldiers along its border to help combat the Nigerian armed group.

Kudos to the Cameroonian Army

Dem done pay ransom.....

We have more reason to worry now because they will make more kidnaps since this one was successful....

Its a welcome development.

Sharp sharp! How dem take do am? Why dem no come help us bring the girls along?

why cant nigerian govt take such drastic actions? enough of thr diplomacy already....and we really need to work hard on our anti-terrorism laws...these arrested boko suspects shud be prosecuted asap...their judgement shudnt be delayed else they break out again!

earthgreeners: See better country...Our own mr clueless woulda been busy pointing fingers at opposition

The top Military echelon in the polarised and bigoted Nigerian Army have been feeding fat on this very Bokoharam menace

wot's going on here? Are we saying cameroun has a better military than nigeria?

That fast?
The whole boko haram thing sometimes looks staged, just like a poorly acted nollywood movie.
Personally, I feel the west have a hand in Nigeria's insurgency..just like they created and funded alqeada as a tool to fight the soviet union.. And maybe thats why they've been silent and unhelping all this while...

Hope that's true and the BH bastards were not paid for the release! We don't need them getting millions of dollars!

How did they succeed in rescuing this woman alive?

Was she really kidnaped by boko haram ?

If yes,

Are the Nigerian government really serious about fighting insurgency?

Characteristics of a working institution nothing more nothing less!

Don't get it twisted
Let's do some Arithmetic here,
If 16soldiers are sacrificed to rescue 1 person,
How many Nigerian soldiers will be sacrificed for 200 Chibok girls
Solution:
Let the number of soldiers to be sacrifced be x
Then 1Chibok girl= 16 soldiers
Therefore 200 chiboks= x soldiers
x= 200×16= 3200 'gallant' soldiers are required for the Rescue Mission.
The Doom of any Sovereign Nation is when her Military is ridden with Corruption and Incompetence— Descartes™2014

A slap on 9ja's face

Meanwhile the Chibok girls are still missing. I weep for this country.

Dats very good and smart of the Camerounian security outfit for the speedy recovery.
Quite funny Nigeria that claims to be the 'giant of Africa' could not boast of such feat in security of her citizens.
Don't blame us cos our presido is a woman

That's impressive response... Some people would have responded by first setting up a committee to discuss the issue before acting

Nice one. Kudos a d cameroun goverment

so rescue from BH is this possible and yet nigerian forces cant rescue our girls, so....pls CAMERON HELP US BRING BACK OUR GIRLS
