Central African Republics minister for youth and sport was kidnapped on Sunday by gunmen in the capital, Bangui, as he returned from church, an official said. The kidnapping of Armel Ningatoloum Sayo follows the kidnapping earlier this week of a U.N. staff member and a French charity worker, highlighting insecurity in the country despite the presence of French and U.N. peacekeepers. Tatiana Yangeko, Sayos spokeswoman, said the minister was driving his wife and his brother back from church when four unidentified gunmen in a taxi stopped their vehicle in Banguis 8th arrondissement, shot in the air and seized the minister.
