Where to Sylvanus Ezieh?” These are some of the timeline messages written on the facebook page of Sylvanus Ezieh as the world, particularly loved ones and friends react on his death.

Sylvanus Ezieh, the 28-year-old political desk editor of the Guardian Post newspaper was discovered dead in his bedroom on Monday August 31, 2015 at the Obili neighbourhood in Yaounde.
