A Burkina Faso-based investigative newspaper is suspending publication following the kidnapping of its publishing director, the media outlet said on Wednesday.
Armed men had arrived at the home of Atiana Serge Oulon, the publishing director of L'Evenement, in June and ordered him to get into a minibus, media freedom organisation Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in a report.
A few hours later two men had returned to Oulon's home and introduced themselves to his wife as secret service agents before seizing his computer and telephone, according to the report.
Reuters was not able to establish the identity of the reported abductors or verify other details of the report.
