Armed men in northern Cameroon have kidnapped five people working for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), local officials say.
The abduction of the French medical charity employees took place during an attack in Cameroon’s Far North region that lies between Nigeria to the west and Chad to the east.
Militant Islamist groups are known to operate in the area but local officials say there is no evidence of a jihadist attack.
Those abducted are three aid workers of Chadian, Senegalese and French-Ivorian nationality, as well as two Cameroonian security guards.
