On Tuesday morning, April 1st, Brother Huub Welters MHM and his assistant, Mr Henry Kang, set out from Bamenda to Ilung, in Cameroon, Africa. They are building classrooms for underprivileged children in that area; children who deserve a chance at a better future. But just 20 km away, in a town called Bambui, their journey was brutally interrupted. They were abducted by unknown armed men, and as of now, no one knew where they were.
Brother Huub at 83 years old spent 2 nights in captivity, deep in the bush.
His only “crime” was loving too deeply, giving too much, and refusing to turn his back on the poor.
On April 3rd the order was relieved when their Mill Hill Missionary Brother and Assistant were released safe and sound.
We’re relieved to be able to report the release from captivity this afternoon, Thursday April 3rd, of Brother Huub Welters MHM and his assistant Henry Kang.
They were abducted by armed men on Tuesday April 1st in the Bambui area of North Western Cameroon.
Fr Innocent Akum, the local Mill Hill Missionary Superior, released photographs documenting their release. Both were returned safe and sound to Mill Hill House Bamenda.
