A second pastor of the Cameroon Baptist Convention (CBC) has been shot in Ndu, days after the shooting death of Pastor Njoh Desmond in the same town.
According to sources CNA spoke to, 62-year-old Reverend Nteih Peter was shot in the arm by masked armed men who broke into the church parsonage on Monday night, demanding for money.
At press time, he is being treated at Ndu Baptist Hospital for the gunshot wounds and will be transferred to Banso Baptist Hospital (BBH) for better medical attention, CNA learned.
The CBC Field Pastor for Ndu Field told CNA that “The children said one of them came into their room and took off his mask and it turned out that he was a Mbororo, even from the language they were speaking”. Rev. Nteih is pastor of Valley Baptist Church in Njipluh, Ndu.
His shooting comes as the CBC is still reeling from the shock of the shooting death of Pastor Njoh Desmond, just several days earlier. The shooting of Pastor Njoh, a faculty member at the esteemed Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary in Ndu by soldiers was strongly condemned by the Executive President of the CBC.
Ndu is known for grazer-farmer conflicts and increasing criminality in the context of the Anglophone Conflict.
