Police Halt Jagaban’s Opening of Motorbike Assembly Plant
Sorie Abubakar Police in Sierra Leone have once again halted a groundbreaking ceremony for a proposed motorbike assembly plant, marking the second disruption in a week for a project led by prominent businessman Sheik Alhaji Mohamed Omodu Kamara, known as Jagaban.
The event, which was scheduled for Saturday, August 23, was abruptly shut down by the Sierra Leone Police despite organizers claiming they had received prior clearance.
This follows a similar incident last Saturday when police dismantled preparations at the project site, preventing the ceremony from taking place.
Jagaban’s planned assembly plant is a flagship project aimed at fulfilling public calls for the businessman to invest in Sierra Leone. The project is expected to create jobs and stimulate local economic activity.
Sources close to the event’s organizers told reporters that although police clearance was initially granted for the ceremony, an “order from above” was reportedly the reason for the sudden police intervention. The police have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.
Why can’t we give chance to development instead of our selfish political ambitions
If this project going to create jobs
Allow the man to go ahead and lunch his project.
Oh salone, political Wahala
Welcome to the POLICE STATE!
Know now that if development initiative does not originate from certain quarters, it is forbidden. The question is, who owns this country called SIERRA LEONE?
Is this the democracy we are boasting about?
What is happening? A man is trying to invest in his own country then police are there distracting him this is undone this is not about slpp and apc but development so please let the police allow him to carry on his investment please
Sierra Leone people always like foreigners.
Please stop running your mouth about something you know little or nothing about.
Police have discovered with enough evidence, that the alleged motorcycle assembly point is fake. It is just a front. The said assembly point is meant to serve as a kush manufacturing center. Also, because security forces have made it difficult for arms importation, Jagaban wants to use the site for manufacturing weapons and explosives.
Mr. Senior, thank you for fake Information. Those doing kush business in Freetown do not need factory to do it. We know it is all about politics and that’s one of the reasons the manufacturing sector in salone is doing poorly.
Any evidence of this your statement mr (senior)
You that everything about this posted issue so that we can have it all from you
Please rephrase your statements because they are a mumble-jumble and difficult to understand. What exactly do you want to ask?
