Tensions between the Mandingo and Limba communities in Biriwa Chiefdom, Karena Section, have once again turned violent, resulting in deaths, destruction, and growing fears of further conflict.
The dispute, which has been simmering for seven years, erupted into deadly violence in the early hours of February 10, 2025.
According to NICE Multimedia Empire, at approximately 2:00 AM, a group of alleged Limba youths reportedly attacked the Mandingo village of Foday Sorieya, setting fire to around 20 houses.
The attack left four people dead and over 40 others injured, while millions of Leones worth of property were destroyed. Additionally, the assailants are said to have stolen large numbers of cattle, a vital source of livelihood for the Mandingo community.
Local sources have accused the Limba Paramount Chief of aiding and abetting the attackers. Concerns have also been raised regarding police involvement, with reports suggesting that officers from Kamabai Police Station may have sided with the perpetrators.
Unconfirmed rumors claim that a police officer, whose name remains undisclosed, was among those who took part in the attack.
It’s very bad to hear it from that side
May Allah 🙏🙏🙏 slove that problem.
Government need to step in fully ….How can you behaves like a rebel to comparates ? It’s inhuman
Only foolish and stupidity can cause such an act of destruction among brothers and sisters of the same nation. Why and where is your God? Evil and devil’s had entered their heads and turn away from your almighty God the creator of Sierra Leone it’s self, now you are seeing your selves as enemies. If you don’t Stop with idolism blood will always flow on your ground. Isn’t enough lessons for ten years of crying and wailing for peace? You have nothing yet you keep destroying that little you got for nonsense sake. Why Sierra Leoneans Why?😭😭🥹😕 Why you all loosing your mind’s stupidly? Go back to your holy books and worship the almighty God for he is good and he will lead all out of your bondages. Because evil had overcome you doing such an act of cannibalism among your selves.
Government should take this matter with seriousness for other communities to learn form this barbaric act and inhuman treatment.
Sierraloaded you are a big media house in Sierra Leone that have so many followers.
On that note you need to be investigative before doing a post let someone didn’t just seat on his or her corner and send you a story or a write up which you didn’t do a proper investigation on and then you went ahead and post it on you page without any evidence of the story or without knowing the root course of the story.
This incident that happen between the Limba’s and the Mandingo in Biriwa chiefdom from the 9th to the 10 February 2025 you didn’t did a proper investigation to know how this issue all started instead you just take one side of the story and publish it and according to media ethics it unprofessional.
The whole problem there was started by the Mandingo. Do to a land disputes that one of the Mandingo village ( Foday Sorieya ) have with one of the Limba village (KamaKenteya). So on the 9th/2/25 this Mandingo village call Foday Sorieya went and lunch an attack to this Limba village (KamaKenteya) at around in the afternoon when the village was empty and burn some of their houses injured some people whom were on the Sean that try to defend themselves.
Inturn following on that night on the 10th /2/25 the Limba village (KamaKenteya) that were attack during the day then revenge and attack the same village that attacked them which is Foday Sorieya and did the same thing that they did to them on the 9th /2/25.
So in a brief that exactly what happen there so if you are here posting one side of the story and accusing people that were not even knowledgeable about the incident except when it has happen, then you need to stop that and try to know the real story before posting it.
God bless you sir for better explanation towards the incident
Thanks
Bless-up
To me I’ve seen posts 📫 here which are disgusting and they are selling there integrity day by day
Let the police dobhere job, all those who are responsible for this must be sentence.
But the Limba people are very simple people they must hurts seriously before reacting so
This is so inhumane, I pray that Allah protect our brothers and sister in Foday sorieyah

Any one they catch should be sentence to jail
This writer/reporter should be sacked, due to his/her baseless reporting on a matter the individual is clueless about. Meanwhile, for this Media house to maintain its status, I strongly advice that this piece should be deleted now to avoid further embarrassment or rather loose trusted/fanatic followers.
The reports that should be coming out of this fora should be credible, balance and factual please.
I don’t think you get this news right I’m from that part of the country the fight is between Karene and fodaysoria mandingo vs mandigo no limba is evolve they want to used this as a yard stick to divide the chiefdom. So next time before given such news you have to confirm it. we limba are very peaceful. I want you to know that we are the only tribe who give the mandigos land to settle in our chifdoms.
