Two Italian priests and a Canadian nun seized by gunmen in northern Cameroon in April have been freed, officials say.
The ex-hostages are said to have boarded a plane to Yaounde on Sunday.
The three were kidnapped by gunmen from the building where they were staying in the district of Maroua in the early hours of 5 April.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack but suspicion has fallen on militant Nigerian group Boko Haram.
Boko Haram Islamists kidnapped another priest as well as seven members of a French family in northern Cameroon last year.
Italy’s foreign ministry confirmed the release of Gianantonio Allegri and Giampaolo Marta from Italy and Canadian nun Gilberte Bussier in a statement on Sunday.
It thanked Canadian and Cameroon authorities but gave no details of how the abduction ended.
