An unattended corpse has been lying at Mabureh Step, Waterloo for over four days, according to a video circulating on social media.

The disturbing footage, shared via WhatsApp, shows the body in a state of neglect, raising serious concerns among local residents and prompting urgent calls for action.

The deceased individual, described by locals as a known user of “kush,” an illicit drug, was found under troubling circumstances.

The exact cause of death remains unknown, but speculation about drug use is prevalent. Despite the gravity of the situation, local authorities have yet to address the issue, leading to growing frustration among community members.

The video, posted by an anonymous source, criticizes the police and government for their perceived inaction.

It highlights the negative impact such incidents could have on Sierra Leone’s international reputation, warning that persistent neglect of such matters could tarnish the country’s global image.

The post also underscores broader issues of systemic corruption and inadequate governmental response, urging immediate intervention to address these problems.

Residents have expressed outrage over the lack of response and the ongoing presence of the body, which they fear could signal deeper systemic issues. The anonymous poster called on the Sierra Leonean government to enhance efforts to combat corruption and improve public safety, emphasizing the need for urgent reform.

As of now, local authorities have not responded to the allegations or the video. The situation remains under scrutiny as calls for action continue to grow from both the local community and concerned citizens.
