Fifteen fishermen kidnapped by militant Islamist group Boko Haram Islamist on Monday around Lake Chad have been freed, according to a local teacher who was also abducted.
The teacher said the fishermen were seized because they ventured into an area controlled by the militants.
The incident comes at a time when the militants have stepped up attacks in Cameroon’s Far North region and the north-eastern region of neighbouring Nigeria.
