IPNews-Monrovia: Another mysterious death has occurred in the provincial city of Gbarnga, Bong county, with the discovery of a Liberian Journalist with counted bullets wounds.

Journalist Chris David, a reporter working for Radio Paraclete, has been found dead in Gbarnga with gunshots wounds.

The incident is said to have happened at 8:45 PM on Thursday after David had just left from on air.

David’s death has sparked protests from motorcyclists in Gbarnga, who are demanding the intervention of the Liberia National Police.

David’s body was discovered Friday afternoon in Gbarnga by relatives and friends who had gone searching for him.

Radio Paraclete’s station manager, Nathan Matthews, described his former reporter as a dedicated staffer of the station.

Also for survival, Chris reportedly ran motorbike after work hours and was a very decent and hard working journalist.

The late Chris also worked for Radio Kakata, Radio Joy Africa and other outlets in Kakata Margibi County before joining the Catholic run outlet in March of 2020.

He also studied counselling at Dayspring Bible College.

The death of Chris has sparked tension in Gbarnga with motorcyclists threatening to get on the rampage.

Such gruesome murder of a Liberian journalist sparked an immediate response from the Society of Liberian Journalists (SLJ).

On its Facebook page the group said ‘We are closely monitoring this situation and will get engaged with the County Authorities of Bong County. We need a speedy investigation and the perpetrators brought to book. This is very concerning!’

They continued ‘We will put out an official statement soon!’
