The
Voice newspaper understands that Assan Sallah, a News Editor at the Daily
Observer newspaper, is missing since June 26, 2013.
Sallah’s
colleagues at the pro-government daily say his whereabouts are unknown. A
source at the paper told The Voice on Monday that Sallah, who last reported for
work last Wednesday, is believed to have fled to neighbouring Senegal.
Details
about his whereabouts are sketchy, and The Voice could not however
independently verify reports that the News Editor has “fled the country or is
under arrest”.
His
co-residents at Jeshwang could not give exact details on his ordeal. But
unconfirmed reports stated Sallah was aware of his “imminent sacking” by the
Daily Observer Company, the publishers of the newspaper of the same name.
On
11 February, Sallah was arrested, grilled and detained overnight by the
National Intelligence Agency (NIA) in connection to Alagie Jobe’s case.
Jobe,
a Deputy Editor at the Observer, was arrested and detained on 8 February on
allegations of “asylum fraud”. - The Voice
