    Nigerian journalist shot dead

    A journalist at a Nigerian daily newspaper has been shot dead by gunmen at his home in Lagos. Bayo Ohu, an assistant news editor at The Guardian, was shot earlier this week.

    Witness saw five men enter Ohu's house and leave with his laptop and mobile phone, in what police initially thought was an armed robbery. However, the Nigerian Union of Journalists says they believe Ohu's death was a targeted murder.

    Meanwhile, Amnesty International has expressed concerns about press freedom in Yemen. The group says it fears journalist Muhammad al-Maqalih is being held by national security forces after disappearing last week. The journalist was reporting on the conflict in the north part of the country and frequently criticised government forces for the killings of civilians, Amnesty International said.
