S SOURCE: READ MORE: EXCLUSIVE , NEWS YOU MAY ALSO LIKE READ NEXT aharaReporters has learned that the Cameroonian authorities paid Boko Haram insurgents at least $400,000 in ransom in order to secure the release of Francoise Agnes Moukouri, wife of Vice Prime Minister Amadou Ali. Cameroonian President Paul Biya Boko Haram insurgents had abducted Mrs. Ali in July from the town of Kolofata. The insurgents also seized the town’s district head. The deal to secure their release was struck three days ago, as SaharaReporters exclusively reported. Our source, who was part of the negotiation that led to the release of Mrs. Ali and several other hostages, disclosed that the terms of the settlement included the payment of an undisclosed sum of money from the Chinese government. Boko Haram subsequently released 10 Chinese construction workers who had been held hostage since their abduction in May. In addition, the Cameroonian government agreed to release four commanders of the Islamist group who had been in Cameroonian jails. The most disturbing part of the deal is that Boko Haram militants demanded and received a significant supply of arms and ammunition, including a guarantee by Cameroon that the weapons would have safe passage to insurgent fighters. Our source disclosed that President Idris Derby of Chad was instrumental in the negotiations because of his closeness to some Boko Haram commanders. SaharaReporters had exclusively reported three days ago that the Cameroonian and Chinese hostages had been released. Cameroonian Minister of Information, Issa Bakary, initially denied the report. However, the office of the Cameroonian President, Paul Biya, today declared that 27 hostages, including Mrs. Ali, 10 Chinese construction workers, and the district head of Kolofata had been released. The Islamist group has wreaked havoc in Nigeria’s northeast zone and has made occasional forays into neighboring saharareporters.com/2014/10/11/cameroon-paid-boko-haram-400k-ransom-plus-arms-and-ammunition-secure-release-deputy-prime 2 Likes |

I created a thread about this on July. The Cameronian and France government are being too secretive. Well i won't blame them, all government are secretive also when it comes to "Ramsom". Turkey and Germany are doing same but this got to stop! https://www.nairaland.com/1834130/cameroonian-france-government-hiding-something |

Fellow Nigerians, what the west is doing now is exactly what they have been planning all along, to divide Africa and Africans by reporting bogus news and giving them to African news papers to publish them. Where did they get the information from that money was paid or arms was given in exchange for hostage release? they are writing all these garbage now to destroy relations with Nigeria and Cameroon and create another war so that they will come in and benefit again. Do you think that Cameroonian authorities will be stupid enough to give boko haram weapons when they clearly know these same weapons will be used against their own people in far north? The western newspapers are the first to always report evil in Afirca and will take days or weeks to report good things. For instance, how long did it take bbc, cnn and other news editors to report that Nigeria has been cleared and contained their ebola threat? When was the last time any of you visited the bbc and saw something positive about Africa? But everyday one will read about poverty, disease, war, farming, etc all happening in Africa. Of all the progress Nigerian army has been making in this war, they won't report it but will turn around and report lies of how boko haram is holding territories and is preparing to attack Maiduguri. If you don't know boko haram so well, then how come you know they are preparing to attack Maiduguri? Who is fooling who here. The west has all along been wanting to destroy Africa and if we fall for this trick, then our beautiful continent will be wiped off infront of all of us. 1 Like |
