Cameroonian journalists wore black on Wednesday in a day of mourning for their colleague Martinez Zogo who was found dead after he disappeared in a suspected abduction.
Mobilisation for the mourning was done by the main journalists’ union, the SNJC.
Mr Zogo was director of the privately owned Amplitude FM and had recently talked in a broadcast about an alleged embezzlement case involving a wealthy businessmen and top officials.
“Men and women of the media, we are in mourning because one of our own died in the most cynical, savage, inhumane, odious way, while he was in the exercise of his profession,” SNJC president Marion Obam is quoted as saying by French broadcaster RFI.
The union has called for the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry to investigate the death.
