> An armed group raided a teacher training centre in Wum, Cameroon’s Northwest Region, killing a police officer who intervened and abducting five teachers, regional Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique said. Security forces are searching for the attackers amid a decade-long separatist conflict in the country’s anglophone regions.
