President of the interim Government of the Southern Cameroons Julius Tabe has been abducted in Nigeria.
He was abducted on Saturday evening in Abuja, Nigeria’s Capital.
His kidnap is said to be causing panic in the English Speaking Central African nation, which has been seeking to secede from the mainly French-speaking region.
President Tabe and eight other officials of the Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia(another name for Southern Cameroon), were meeting at Nera Hotels on Alex Ekwueme Road, Abuja on January 5 when the kidnappers struck.
The meeting was disrupted by the gun-carrying men who barged into the room and kidnapped everyone present.
Those abducted with President Tabe are Dr. Nfor Ngala Nfor, Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC), Dr. Fidelis Nde Che, Dr. Henry Kimeng, Prof. Awasum, Dr. Cornelius Kwanga, Mr. Tassang Wilfred,
