A university student identified as Liengu Louise, 23, has been found dead over six weeks since she was kidnapped upon her arrival in Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon.
Diengu, who hails from Bangem in Kupe Muanenguba Division of the Southwest Region, is said to have left Buea on February 2 for an interview in Yaounde, when unidentified men seized her around Mvan upon her arrival.
Her close relative told MMI she was found dead on Tuesday, March 14, despite the family having paid a ransom to the kidnappers for her release.
The hoodlums had long switched off the contact line after receiving the ransom they had demanded from the family.
Her corpse was discovered at Mvan, the same neighborhood where she was kidnapped last month.
“I’m really in pain because this particular lady was a girl with dignity and she upholds Christian values,” said one of Diengu’s friends, who attended the same secondary school with her.
Before the mishap, Diengu Louise is said to have been studying at the University of Buea.
Her killing adds to a series of criminal cases recorded in Yaounde during the past weeks.
