The disappearance of Ivorian journalist Serge Mathurin Adou in Niger’s capital, Niamey, has sparked concern among African press unions, who are calling for clarity from local authorities. Adou has been missing for over two weeks, with no contact reported since his disappearance on 1 September.
According to Jean-Claude Coulibaly, president of the National Union of Journalists in Ivory Coast, Adou had informed his wife shortly before he vanished that he had been summoned by the judicial police.
There has been no official information released by Nigerien authorities regarding Adou’s case.
The two press unions have urged Nigerien officials to clarify the circumstances of Adou’s arrest and the specific charges against him.
