It's the third killing of a journalist in the country this year.

Reports say Anye Nde Nsoh was in a bar in Bamenda when unidentified gunmen opened fire.

He worked for a weekly newspaper, the Advocate.

Bamenda is one of the areas worst-affected by several years of conflict involving English-speaking secessionists.

The other two Cameroonian journalists killed in recent months died in the capital, Yaoundé.
