Three young individuals have reportedly drowned at Jui Bridge in Freetown, after a police raid on suspected kush users in the night of August 25, 2025.
Reports indicated that the raid triggered panic, leading four individuals to jump into the water in an attempt to escape.
As of the morning hours of today, August 26, only one has been rescued alive, and transported to the hospital, while search efforts continue for the other three.
The Sierra Leone police have not yet issued a statement regarding the incident, prompting widespread criticism from local residents.
Many are voicing their anger on social media, blaming law enforcement for the tragic loss of life. Community members are urging the police to consider alternative strategies for addressing kush consumption, rather than conducting raids that endanger lives.
Authorities have not released the identities of the individuals involved, as investigations are ongoing.
