Five staff of the Sierra Leone Maritime Administration (SLMA) are presumed missing around Shenge, South-Western Sierra Leone.

According to reports, the five staff were stationed at the Moyamba and Shenge branches of the Maritime Administration.

It was reported that the five staff left the fishing port of Shenge on a speedboat to perform their duty during the weekend but are yet to be seen.

Some locals fear that something awful might have happened to the speedboat.

However, there has been no official comment from the SLMA with regards the issue.
