A certain Chongwain Joseph, has reportedly been kidnapped alongside five others in Buabua, a locality in Boyo division of the North West region.

Sources say the act was carried out by Ambazonia fighters from Abuh in Fundong,Boyo division.

Joseph, according to a family source, was suspected of being a teacher – an accusation family sources have debunked.

“He was picked up on Sunday morning in our house in Buabua, he is just a farmer,” a family source told MMI.

The Perpetrators of the act are reportedly demanding huge sums in ransom to free the captives.

“And this people are asking him 1.5million as ransom,” the family source who opted not to be named, revealed.

Meanwhile the family of Joseph knows very little about him as he remains in captivity, while nothing has been heard of the five others.
