Separatist Fighters in Bambui Kidnap Rev. Brother Huub Walters and Assistant

Ambazonia separatist fighters in Bambui, Tubah Subdivision, Mezam, have abducted Rev. Brother Huub Walters, a Mill Hill Missionary, and his assistant, Bobe Achoh Henry Kang. Reports indicate that the two were taken captive while travelling from Bamenda to Boyo for a routine visit and inspection of completed and ongoing projects.

The abduction, which occurred on April 1, has shocked the local population, particularly among the Roman Catholic faithful in Boyo Division and the family of Achoh Henry Kang.

Brother Huub Walters actively engages in humanitarian efforts, and his disappearance has caused distress for many.

Achoh Henry Kang faced multiple kidnappings since the Anglophone crisis began, but this marks the first time kidnappers took him with his superior.

The incident has heightened fears about the safety of humanitarian workers and religious figures operating in the crisis-hit North West region of Cameroon.

Relatives of the abducted men and members of the Mill Hill Missionary Society have expressed deep concern over their safety.

Calls are mounting for their immediate and unconditional release, as stakeholders in the crisis continue to urge for dialogue and an end to kidnappings targeting civilians and aid workers.

Authorities have not released an official statement on the abduction, and it remains unclear if the kidnappers have made any demands.

Since 2017, armed groups and government forces have engaged in a protracted conflict in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions, causing widespread displacement, violence, and humanitarian crises.
