Oil Crew Kidnapped Off Coast of Cameroon, Gunmen Threaten to Kill Hostages

A group calling themselves the Bakassi Freedom Fighters overtook an oil vessel off the coast of Cameroon and have threatened to kill the ten hostages if the Cameroonian government refuses to speak with them.

The group was against the recent decision made by Nigeria to turn over the oil-rich territory of the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon and has threatened continued violence in the region unless the Cameroonian government met with them.

According to reports the group sent three speedboats out to the oil vessel and boarded the ship around midnight. Ten people were taken hostage made up of seven French nationals, two Cameroonians and a Tunisian.

The group has now threatened that if the Cameroonian government doesn’t begin talks within seven days they will kill a hostage every three days.

The vessel, the Bourbon Sagitta, is owned by the French company Bourbon.
