The Freetown City Council FCC has provided evidence of its claim of 220 Kush-related dead bodies collected across the city after the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs formally demanded that Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr provide verifiable evidence to support her claim made on national television.

According to the FCC’s response addressed to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, the council acknowledged the gravity of the concern and the importance of providing verifiable information to support the government effort in addressing the Kush crisis.

FCC provided a spreadsheet that provides detailed information on the corps collected between January to October 8 2025, with date of collection, location, gender, and burial disposition.

According to the FCC, a total of 220 corpses were recorded in the streets of Freetown, with 50 claimed by family members and 170 buried by the council.
