Opposition Leader Abdul Kargbo Blasts Gambia And Liberia Over Drug Allegations
Aminata Koroma Opposition leader Honourable Abdul Kargbo has strongly rejected recent claims by The Gambia and Liberia that drugs are being trafficked through Sierra Leone.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Kargbo said the allegations are “creating a false picture” of the country. “Sierra Leone is not responsible for drugs in The Gambia or Liberia,” he told lawmakers, adding that he was “mad at them” for making such claims.
The debate reportedly escalated into a bitter argument, with Kargbo insisting that neighbouring states should not tarnish Sierra Leone’s reputation without evidence. He noted, however, that just a month after the parliamentary debate, a vehicle belonging to an embassy in Guinea was seized with cocaine.
“We cannot keep quiet about that. They are the people that are tainting the image of this country. We should lash them,” Kargbo said, calling for strong action against those spreading false accusations.
The opposition leader’s remarks come amid growing regional concern over cross-border drug trafficking and increasing efforts by Sierra Leonean authorities to secure national borders.
Hmmm!
This is not good for our country 🤦♂️
May Allah grant us ease 🙏
Sierra Leone has been portrayed as a drug Nation, the evidence is seen in our youth being dead on our streets. Sierra Leoneans are caught trafficking drugs at foreign Airport.
Even our own brothers and sisters selling drugs. What law is place?
where is our Presedent ?. There must be stringent laws and if any is caught punish and put in prison with hard sentences. This is out of hand only God can solve this pandemic. Lord Jesus intervention and have mercy on Sierra Leone and her people.
