A judge in Cameroon has ordered the release of a US-based author and academic who was detained for allegedly threatening President Paul Biya’s life. 

The judge ruled that Patrice Nganang should be expelled from the central African state, his lawyer said. 

No official reason was given for the the decision to free the US citizen. 

Mr Nganang was detained three weeks ago as he was about to fly out of his country of birth. He is a fierce critic of Mr Biya’s 37-year rule.
