The situation at GHS Oku School has taken a dire turn with the abduction of the Principal, Motika Emmanuel, over a week ago, as he was on his way to distribute report cards to students at the end of the first term.

According to information from the CNA, he allegedly paid 1.5 million CFA out of the 6.5 million CFA demanded as ransom for his release. A substantial amount reportedly demanded by his captors.

However, the situation took a concerning twist when Motika was compelled to post a message on his Facebook page. In this message, he seeks the assistance of the manager of his account at BAPCUL in Bamenda, Northwest Region, to lend him 5 million CFA to complete the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.

He described the situation as "life-threatening" and pleaded with the manager to release the funds for his wife. No active group in the troubled region has claimed responsibility for this abduction. However, the kidnappers have declared a ban on all school activities in the region and view Motika's presence as a violation of their order.

This incident has sparked growing concern within the educational community and local authorities. The kidnapping of the Principal has underscored the escalating challenges faced by schools and educational personnel in conflict-affected regions.

Authorities have been urged to act swiftly to ensure the safety and release of Motika Emmanuel. The ransom demand and distress message on social media have raised significant alarm, emphasizing the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the situation in these troubled areas.
