The investigation follows statements from Kadijah Kamara, a senior sister of the deceased, who reported receiving a distress call on July 21, 2025. She said that Mr. Johnson Kamara informed her that Junior Abubakarr Sidique Kamara was in a coma. She also claimed to have seen Alhaji Santigie Sesay and three other individuals knocking on their door around 1 a.m. on the same night.

“We saw Alhaji with three boys in a car including my late brother. But we rejected the body, considering the odd the time. I and my mother were not knowledgeable about anything. So, we asked Alhaji and Co. to take the body at the nearest hospital,” Kadija stated.

Police are awaiting advice from the regional state solicitor before deciding on further action. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to determine the full circumstances surrounding the death.
