Cameroon children freed after kidnapping
(CNN)All 78 children kidnapped from their boarding school in Cameroon have been freed, school authorities told CNN Wednesday.
The group of 42 girls and 36 boys was seized by gunmen with their school principal, a teacher and driver early Monday from the Presbyterian Secondary School in Bafut, in the northwest of the central African nation. One girl managed to escape from the kidnappers.
After an intensive search, the students were released and returned to the school with their driver at 9:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, according to teacher Vumesegah Peter Kogah. A military truck later transported the children to the governor’s office.
