A police officer has been killed and five teachers kidnapped following an attack on a teacher training centre in Wum, in Cameroon’s Northwest Region. The incident occurred on Tuesday morning when a group of armed individuals reportedly infiltrated the training centre, located about 80 kilometres north of Bamenda. According to regional governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique, the officer attempted to intervene and stop the attackers but was met with gunfire and killed instantly. The assailants then took five teachers to an unknown location, prompting security forces to launch a search for those responsible. The attack comes amid a long-running conflict between government forces and separatist groups in Cameroon’s two English-speaking regions. The conflict dates back to 2016, when authorities violently suppressed protests by teachers and lawyers who opposed what they described as the growing influence of French-speaking authorities over the education and legal systems in the anglophone regions. The unrest developed into an armed separatist conflict in 2017, with civilians subsequently facing violence, extortion and kidnappings for ransom. The United Nations estimates that at least 6,000 people have been killed since 2016. The violence has also displaced large numbers of people, with more than 330,000 internally displaced in Cameroon in 2025, while over 100,000 others fled across the border into neighbouring Nigeria. The latest attack adds to concerns over continued insecurity in the country’s English-speaking west.
