Banjul - A high-profile Gambian journalist has been missing for a week after being abducted by suspected intelligence agents, press freedom campaigners said on Thursday, voicing fears for his safety.
Alagie Ceesay, manager of the independent Teranga FM, disappeared outside the radio station's Banjul headquarters on July 2, Reporters Without Borders said in a statement.
"We are extremely worried about Alagie Ceesay's disappearance," said Clea Kahn-Sriber, head of the Africa desk at the rights group, known by its French initials RSF.
While saying journalists being abducted was "nothing new in Gambia" Kahn-Scriber said "every day that passes increases our concern about Ceesay's fate."
Ceesay had just finished his meal ending the daily Ramadan fast when a friend told him two men outside the radio station were asking to see him, RSF said.
