Radio Cefod journalist Orédjé Narcisse and Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif have been shot dead in Chad and Kenya.

The incidents occurred on October 20 and 24, respectively, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said in separate statements.

Narcisse was murdered in Chad’s capital N’Djamena as he was on his way to work.

Angela Quintal, CPJ’s Africa program coordinator, called for a transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

“Authorities must also ensure the safety of journalists as the country grapples with anti-government protests”, Quintal noted.

The deceased was targeted outside his home, reportedly by individuals wearing Chadian military uniforms
