French family held in Northern Nigeria return safely to France

The French family, father, mother, their four kids and father's brother, who were abducted in Cameroon on February 19th 2013 by Islamist militants and brought to Nigeria, have returned safely to France. They were welcomed by their family members and the president of France.

The Moulin-Fournier family, who were based in Cameroon, were kidnapped while visiting a national park in the northern part of the country. A few days later, they were taken to northern Nigeria where they were held by members of Boko Haram who asked Cameroon to free detained members of their group before they free the abducted family. The French family returned to their country yesterday Saturday April 20th. No word yet on how they were released.

    It was not Boko Haram that held them hostage Linda. It was the Ansar....This is to also info our quack journalists who reported that the people have been killed. No facts but false report.

    Good for dem. No vex o bt all f bin tinkin of is dt babcok fees. Education is highly over rated. i wasted 5 yrs f my life studyin Engineering in FUTO,my family paid tru their noses wit hope dt i ll help d family once i graduate n train my younger ones. To b honest i wish i wasn't an intelligent boi in secondary skol cos my classmate dt were dull,deir families didn't bother trainin dem bt all looked up to me. Others went to learn business in Onitsha n Lagos. i stayed 5 yrs at home wit no job even aftr my 2:1. No money to even pay up my father's loans,my secondary skol mates r getting married n doin so well n u won't bliv d supposed illiterates d ones helpin me start my own business at 32. Aftr graduation wot nxt? i can give anytin for d least fee on dt list so i can boost my business. They teach u skill acquisition in camp n tell u to start ur biz,y go to skol at all. i regret those wasted yrs n money bt i bliv all ll b well in d end. Am sorry to hav bored u wit my story,i jst needed to talk to someone.

    All this rubbish going on in Africa.

    It's until when the revenue generated from foreigners' visits greatly reduce that the greedy leaders' eyes will open. What arrant nonsense! I'm happy they were safely returned.
