Cameroon kidnapped students reunited with their parents

Students kidnapped from a boarding school in Cameroon’s restive North-West region have been reunited with their parents amid joyful scenes.

The 78 students and three others were seized early on Monday in the region’s capital, Bamenda.

A driver was also freed, but the principal and a teacher are still being held.

The government and English-speaking separatists have accused each other of orchestrating the kidnapping.

After being released, the students were taken in army vehicles back to the Presbyterian Secondary School where their parents were waiting.
