A member of the Congregation of the Sons of the Immaculate Conception (CFIC) in Cameroon’s Bamenda Archdiocese has been killed in a stabbing incident.
Br. Cyprian Ngeh was attacked and killed in the Ndamukong district of Bamenda on the evening of November 7.
In a Wednesday, November 8 interview with ACI Africa, Fr. Beltus Asanji Tabefor, a Priest of Bamenda Archdiocese, provided details about the sad incident, saying, “Brother Cyprian was stabbed to death around Ndamukong quarter in Bamenda III Sub Division at about 9 pm on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.”
