Calaba Town Community Residents of the Calaba Town community are calling for justice after a man identified as Alieu was allegedly beaten to death by his co-workers over accusations of stealing a five-gallon container of fuel (locally called “one bata fuel”)
According to eyewitness accounts, Mr. Mohamed Barrie, a resident, said he witnessed the incident around 1:00 a.m. but chose not to intervene out of fear of being implicated. He stated that he saw five people, along with a driver making a total of six suspects involved in the brutal act.
Another resident, Mr. Alie Koroma, who later accompanied some of the suspects to the Waterloo Police Station, said he received a call around 7:00 a.m. from Mr. Sawaneh, the fuel manager, inquiring whether he knew anything about the matter. Unfortunately, by that time, Alieu had already died.
Following the incident, company representatives, including the HR personnel, met at Allentown Junction before proceeding to the Waterloo Police Station, where they provided statements.
The victim’s body was later transported to the 34 Military Hospital in Wilberforce with police assistance.
Mr. Koroma further explained that two companies are linked to the case one reportedly operating under Orange (IPT) and Angel Security. Two of the suspects allegedly work for IPT, while the driver, said to be directly involved, is employed by Angel Security.
He also confirmed that three suspects have been arrested in connection with the killing, and a postmortem examination has been conducted to determine the exact cause of death.
The Chief Executive Officer of Angel Security, Mr. Conteh, reportedly owns the vehicle that was allegedly used during the incident.
Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing as the community and family members continue to demand justice for the late Alieu.
