Cameroon: Business man and family abducted in Far North Region

Yesterday morning, in the Karenan locality of the extreme North Region of Cameroon, a business man, Alhadji Moussa and his family were kidnapped by well armed men.

These attackers, as revealed by eye witnesses were dressed in African Union Multinational mixed force attire and came in from Nigeria. The all-terrain vehicles which they used were painted with colours known to be used by Cameroon armed forces.

The operation was well planned such that, they spent just a few minutes to perpetuate the act. Before the forces of law and order could intervene, the men had disappeared.

No claim has been made for the attack yet, but the Boko Haram terrorist group are highly suspected, as they are the ones who have been instilling fear and terror in the indigenes of the Northern part of Cameroon all this while.

This comes after a military base was attacked a few days back at Homaka by the terrorist group, which left four people dead.

Shekau and his boys now want to go back to the method which they used to use before taking the suicide bombing approach. By then, they used to kidnap mostly foreigners who had come to Cameroon either for site seeing or for their businesses. There are notably the cases of French and Chinese citizens, on whom the terrorist Islamic sect has not had it light
