Square assured all Sierra Leoneans, especially the people of Pujehun that justice will prevail, stating that if evidence was found against Dauda; all the necessary actions will be taken to bring him to book. He therefore asked for people to be patient and wait for the outcome. The ASP further assured the nation that the Sierra Leone Police has good officers who can be trusted with their safety and security.
He said normally it takes ten days for sexual penetration cases to be investigated by the police and they would have to wait for the medical results that could determine the next line of action. He stated that he will update the media and the public on the outcome. The police and the suspect are currently in police custody.
