4. Akaoua Babiana Amoudu Ali
Bibiana is the wife of Amoudu Ali, the vice Prime Minister of Cameroon. On the 27th of July, 2014, the militants attacked Amoudu’s family, killed some members of the family and made off with his wife. The Vice Prime minister was on his way home to celebrate Ramadan with his family, returning home in Kolofata, to meet abject disillusionment. This incident particularly raised a lot of suspicion. First, the world was marveled at Cameroon’s tactic of getting back Madam Bibiana alive. Knowing the rebellious group and their brutal nature, it was a point of interest to know why they complied and set her free. As happy as the Cameroonians were to have her back, the concern was the assurance that the government has not compromised the safety of her people and surrounding African countries by accepting any form of terms and negotiation to set the hostage free. Rumor has it that the Cameroonian government could have possibly paid them in cash and in supply of weapons and ammunition. The fear is that whatever they signed up to might adversely affect one or a host of people in West and Central Africa.
