Media advocates described Martinez Zogo’s disappearance and death as a further sign of the perils of reporting in the African country.

Zogo had recently been talking on air about a case of alleged embezzlement involving a media outlet with government connections, RSF said. His colleague, Charlie Amie Tchouemou, Editor-in-chief of Amplitude FM, confirmed Zogo’s death and his abduction. The police and the government did not respond to calls for comment.
