Today, Tuesday the 3rd November, 2020 a group of unidentified armed men stormed the campus of Presbyterian Primary School, Kumbo and the day section of the Secondary School (PCHS Kumbo) Situated in Kumbo Town at about 9:00am. In the process they carted away a total of 11 teachers and dispersed the children to go home unhurt. The Presbyterian Church in Cameroon vehemently condemns this act which continuously deprives the children of their rights to education. The Church is hereby praying for the teachers, parents, children, and other stakeholders during this very trying moment. Our hope is that, such ugly scenarios will one day come to an end by the Grace of God. The PCC hereby launches a passionate appeal to the perpetrators of this unholy act to release the captives as soon as possible.
Yours for the Sake of the Faith,
Revd. Samuel Fonki
Please keep the teachers and their families, Revd. Fonki and the church in Cameroon in prayer.
