79 school students abducted in Cameroon

79 students have been kidnapped by unknown gunmen in the the Cameroon city of Bamenda.

The gunmen reportedly stormed the Presbyterian Secondary School Nkwen and rounded up the children. After shooting sporadically into the air, a teacher, the school principal and a driver were abducted alongside the students.

It is not clear who is responsible for the kidnapping but some believe that it is unconnected with Boko Haram members that have attacked the regions in the anglophone country that shares boundaries with Nigeria.
