The mutilated body of a prominent Cameroonian journalist was found yesterday near the capital Yaounde, five days after he was abducted by unidentified assailants.
Martinez Zogo who was the director of a private radio station Amplitude FM was kidnapped on the 17th of this month by unknown assailants after trying to enter a police station to escape his attackers.
Zogo had recently been talking on air about a case of alleged embezzlement of public funds involving a media outlet with government connections.
The incident is the latest in a string of attacks against journalists in Cameroon under President Paul Biya’s rule who has a decades-long record of repressing opposition.
