A Cameroonian businessman Alhadji Moussa and several family members were abducted Wednesday morning in Karenan, far north of Cameroon by suspected members of Boko Haram, and taken to an unknown destination, security sources told APA.
According to reports, eyewitnesses say the attackers, apparently from neighbouring Nigeria wore uniforms of the African Union’s Joint Multinational Force (FMM), before breaking into the businessman’s home, after arriving on board two all-terrain vehicles of the Cameroonian army.
Their well-coordinated assault is said to have lasted only for a few minutes, and no claims have so far been made.
A manhunt has been launched by the army to find the hostages.
