Father Ludovic Lado, a catholic Jesuit priest is being detained at the Littoral region.

He was arrested today Tuesday, October 13th on national road number 3, close to Edea in the Sanaga Maritime Division of Cameroon.

Father Ludovic’s arrest came shortly after he announced a solidarity march to call for a return to peace in the conflict-hit Anglophone regions of the country.

He had pledged to undertake a 250KM walk in ten days, ending in the nation’s capital, Yaounde.

Reports say father Ludovic, who is also reputed for his critical stance is currently being taken by security forces to Yaounde.
