Hundreds of journalists took to the streets of Yaounde in Cameroon today, to draw attention to the death of newspaper editor, Bibi Ngota, while in police custody.

Given that today is World Press Freedom Day, the journalists had planned to stage a sit in protest outside the Prime Minister's office, but police used force to stop them.

Focus on Africa's Randy Joe Sa'ah witnessed the encounter close up.
