46 individuals, including 7 women and 39 men, hailing from various addresses within Waterloo, made their inaugural court appearance at the Magistrate’s Court, King Yard, on Wednesday, September 13, 2023.

These individuals had been apprehended by security forces on Monday, September 11, 2023, due to their alleged involvement in the Unlawful Protests that had taken place in and around Waterloo.

The charges leveled against them encompassed a range of offenses under the Public Order Act of 1965, including incitement, riotous conduct, disorderly behavior, throwing missiles, public insult, and provocation, among others.

The security forces presented a collection of evidence, including rocks, stones, old vehicle tires, and provocative placards, which were seized during the operation to quell the unlawful protests.

Following their court appearance, all 46 accused individuals, who were identified as protesters, were remanded in custody at the Banga Farm/Kissi Town Correctional Center located on the outskirts of Waterloo.

Their next scheduled court appearance is set for Monday, September 18, 2023, when the legal proceedings will continue.

The table will soon turn and all those forces who are working for Maada Bio will know that, they took oath to serve the nation and work by the prescription of the constitution and not by individual. The head of the police and the military will hold accountable by allowing foreign forces to killed innocent citizens. They bring foreigners to do most of the killings

The people of Sierra Leone no longer have their rights to demonstrate against what they think is not good for this nation. For now, the constitution of Sierra Leone does not permit anybody to demonstrate against things that affect them. Sierra Leone is no longer a democratic country under the PAOPA regime. This killer President and his PAOPA supporters must learn thing, ..." That he will not be there for ever..." Maada Bio is not a wise man, in his present situation he would have advised his killer forces to stop killing defenceless civilians but I am sure he is still dreaming. Very soon he will understand. This is the time he would say ..."had i known"
