The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called for an investigation into the death of broadcast journalist Zenu Miller who died just a few weeks after he was brutalized by agents of the Executive Protection Service.
The Committee to Protect Journalists is an American independent non-profit, non-governmental organization, based in New York City, New York with correspondents around the world. CPJ promotes press freedom and defends the rights of journalists.
Zenu’s sudden death occurred Saturday morning after suddenly falling off and was rushed to the ELWA Hospital, family sources told Liberia Public Radio.
While the cause of his death is yet to be made public, Zenu had been complaining of chest pain since he was manhandled by officers of the Executive Protection Service late January at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Stadium during the National County Sports Meet.
He served as editor, talk show host and news director at Truth FM 96.1, owned by Liberian businessman. Musa Bility, and T-Five radio station of Representative Thomas Fallah.
He also worked at the Lone Star Cell Communications Incorporated and OK FM99.5 in Monrovia – where he worked until his demise.
Security forces in Liberia have been constantly harassing and attacking journalists who usually come in contact with them.
It can be recalled that during the 2020 National County Sport meet, Journalist Christopher Walker of Front Africa Newspaper was brutalized by some officers of Liberia National Police for standing at the perimeter of the pitch.
The Executive Protective Service (EPS) is President George Weah’s elite security forces.
Miller complained that he suffered severe pains in the chest and legs as a result of the assault, forcing him to seek medical treatment.
