5 BIR soldiers caught red-handed kidnapping and demanding ransom in Buea!
5 BIR soldiers caught red-handed kidnapping and demanding ransom in Buea!
Kidnapping for ransom which was thought to be the preserve of the Amba Boys is now being used by BIR soldiers too. Five soldiers accused of kidnapping for ransom have been arrested by the Buea police for demanding ransom from a family whose child they kidnapped.
They were arrested on 10 January after they had been paid over a million by mobile money. The family of the hostage based in Sand Pit quarter then succeeded to get back the money thanks to the intervention of the police, Cameroon News Agency (CNA) reported.
The CNA report was buttressed by social media videos of the alleged BIR soldiers torturing their captive with cutlasses and asking him to furnish them with the telephone numbers of his parents
According to the CNA, the man (name withheld) was kidnapped while at home. The kidnappers jumped over the fence to find their way into his residence around the Catholic Church.
Buea GMI intercepted by tracking the mobile money number they used to collect a ransom from the victim’s family.
More than half of the CFAF 2 million ransom was paid into their MTN Mobile Money account on Thursday.
On Friday, January 10, 2020, the irresponsible uniformed officers were arrested and the victim released.
One of the kidnappers, a BIR officer, lives in the same neighbourhood as the victim.
