Tension is rising in Burkina Faso following the unexplained disappearance of six individuals, including three magistrates, a lawyer, and two journalists.

Local reports indicate that some of the missing persons were allegedly taken by men identifying themselves as members of the National Intelligence Agency earlier this week.

The incident, which occurred in Ouagadougou, has sparked public outrage and renewed concerns over arbitrary detentions in the country.

Authorities are yet to release any official information about the circumstances surrounding the disappearances, leaving families and colleagues demanding answers.
