In Cameroon, 15 students have been kidnapped from the University of Buea this morning.
The students are members of the university football team and were training on campus for the forthcoming university games when the gunmen appeared.

No shots were reportedly fired.
Raisa Ajeba from the women’s football squad told me that her team was also training on the same day and as soon as she was told the men had been kidnapped, she ran home.
It is not known who is behind the abduction, but kidnappings have become frequent in the troubled English-speaking regions where separatist groups have been fighting government troops for over a year.
The coach of a top football club was kidnapped earlier this week and subsequently freed, as we reported earlier.
A former Junior Minister of Justice, Emmanuel Ngafesen, has also been kidnapped in Bamenda and has not been found yet.
