Glody Ndaya, director general of the privately owned news site Eventsrdc.com, jailed following defamation complaints

2 DRC journalists jailed following defamation complaints. The two journalists were arrested separately by police in Kinshasa on August 4, 2025. Ndaya was first detained at the provincial police station then transferred on August 5 to the Gombe municipality’s prosecutor’s office, according to her lawyer, Eric Andoy Elungu. Andoy said that Ndaya’s arrest was related to a defamation complaint over Eventsrdc.com’s publication of an investigation alleging medical malpractice by local doctor Vincent Lokonga. The investigation was not carried out by Eventsrdc.com. The outlet and several other news sites, including congoquotidien.com, congopresse.net, and infos.cd, published it.
