Cameroons 91-year-old President Paul Biya returned to the country on Monday after a 42-day absence that had sparked questions about his health and whereabouts .
The chartered plane carrying the president and his wife Chantal Biya from Geneva landed at Nsimalen International Airport in the capital Yaounde a few minutes before 5pm.
Biya was received on the tarmac by his secretary general Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, with whom he chatted briefly before getting into his car.
The nonagenarian head of state did not speak to the public. But as his motorcade exited the airport, Biya waved at supporters through the back window of his car.
Biyas prolonged absence fuelled widespread speculation he was unwell, prompting authorities to put out statements saying the president was in good health.
