“Seven French tourists were captured today by men, apparently on motorbikes, in the Cameroonian locality of Dadanga on the frontier with Nigeria,” the source said on Tuesday.
According to the source, the tourists, apparently three adults and four children, were coming back from “the Waza natural park,” located in the Far North Region.
The French tourists slept “in the park’s tourist camp where they left this morning,” added an anonymous source in the park.
Meanwhile, a security source in the area also said that security forces searched for the kidnappers the length of the border with Nigeria.
While hostage taking often takes place off the Cameroonian coast, it is the first time that tourists from Western countries have been abducted in Cameroon.
