Outspoken Cameroonian Journalist found dead after reported missing

An outspoken Cameroonian radio journalist has been found dead, after he disappeared last week in a suspected abduction. Martinez Zogo was director of the privately-owned ‘Amplitude FM’ and hosted a popular radio show called ‘traffic jam’.

He had recently spoken on air about an alleged embezzlement case involving wealthy businessmen and top officials.

A Spokesperson from Amplitude FM said along with Mr Zogo’s wife, they had identified the body of the radio presenter, which was found dumped on bare ground outside the capital, Yaoundé.

A media rights group said police heard a loud noise outside their station last Tuesday night and discovered Mr Zogo’s badly-damaged car.

A black vehicle was seen driving away from the scene.
