President Paul Biya of Cameroon on Monday returned to the country amid rumours of his death.
Biya arrived at Yaounde’s international airport, the Cameroonian capital.
The 91-year-old appeared on state broadcaster CRTV after the presidential plane landed, shaking hands with officials next to his wife Chantal, as a jubilant crowd waited to greet him.
A few weeks ago, questions were raised over Biya’s health and whereabouts following his disappearance from public view.
Biya’s whereabouts were unknown after attending the China-Africa summit in Beijing at the beginning of September.
“Today the president is on his way and this will put an end to all the speculation,” declared a CRTV presenter.
“Welcome home, Mr President of the Republic,” said one billboard with a portrait of Biya on a blue background.
