Separatists kidnap GHS Oku Principal, demand huge ransom

The Principal of GHS Oku, Motika Emmanuel, has been in Amba capacity for more than a week.

He was kidnapped on his way to distribute Report Cards to students, after the end of first term.

CNA is reliably informed that he has paid FCFA 1.5 million out of the FCFA 6.5 demanded as ransom for his release.

Motika was later forced to write a message on his Facebook page requesting the Manager is his account at BAPCUL in Bamenda, North West region,  to loan him FCFA 5 million so he can complete the ransom.

He described the situation as “life threatening” and further pleaded on the Manager to disburse the money to his wife.

No group fighting in the restive region has claimed responsibility.

But the kidnappers said they had banned school in the area and see Motika’s presence as violation of their order.
