Adama Bayala, a journalist with the private broadcaster, BF1, remains unfound after he disappeared on June 28, 2024. Neither his family nor his colleagues have heard from him since he left his office around 2pm on that fateful day. He is feared kidnapped.
Besides being a journalist and a writer, Adama Bayala is also the President of the National Network of Consumers of Faso (RENCOF); and it was RENCOF that announced the disappearance of their leader. After conducting several unsuccessful searches in police stations and gendarmeries, Bayala’s colleagues say they have contacted lawyers so that legal and administrative steps can be taken to find him. Bayala’s wife told local media that before he went missing, her husband had received various threats via social networks.
The disappearance of Bayala brings to three the number of journalists who have disappeared within a space of nine days (from June 19-28, 2024).
