People cannot stop weeping as they lose their loved ones on a daily. On May 7, a Journalist sports writer and reporter, Anye Nde Nsoh was shot dead by gunmen at Che Street in Bamenda, in the North West Region of Cameroon.
Nde Nso was a reporter with Dream FM radio Bamenda and a sports contributor to many online platforms. He was also the North West Bureau Chief of The Advocate Newspaper.
Anye was killed for committing no crime, he was shot to death at Che Street Bamenda at a drinking spot called Don Simon. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), called on the government of Cameroon to investigate and hold those who were responsible for the death of Journalist Anye Nde Nsoh to account.
After a thorough investigation, it was confirmed that Anye Nde Nsoh was killed by separatist fighters reason being that they confronted him by a military who frequents the drinking spot.
Journalists are scared as they are no longer safe they find themselves under attack by both the government and separatist fighters. Both sides must respect the rights of journalists to report freely and ensure their safety because they have lost one of them regardless of the reason for his death.
Shameful how innocent people keep dying every day and the government is saying nothing about it.
