A senior journalist at Radio Democracy, Musa Kamara said he has received several threats following a controversial interview with the US Ambassador to Sierra Leone, David Reimer.
“I has been dramatic in the last 24 hours since that my interview with the outgoing US Ambassador to Sierra Leone, David Reimer,” Kamara said.
He added that he has received several threatening remarks on social media and personal text messages. He noted that the threats are a cause for concern and notified the radio station’s management and the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ).
“Going forward I feel scared to do the job I love,” Kamara said in an interview with Sierraloaded.
Kamara’s interview with Ambassador Reimer was leaked on Wednesday. In the interview, Reimer said the United States is concerned about the 24 June election results. He added that they want an independent institution to investigate the results.
The 2023 elections are believed to be one of the most controversial multitier elections Sierra Leone has conducted in recent times.
The outcome of the elections currently harbors an impasse between the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party and the main opposition party, All People’s Congress (APC) The APC have boycotted government and governance citing statistical inconsistencies with the announced results.
Hmmm, disgraceful
Don’t let devil distract you, focus on your job bro God is with you
What’s wrong with Musa Kamara interviewing the Ambassador is that people need to issue threats to him which I understood he does not put words in the Ambassador’s mouth.
Please let give journalists their journalism rights.
If guys follow the interview well it meant peace for our nation.
Aaaà sierra Leone
I believe your are in the right track
Inh sef Una wan killam ??? It’s so shameful
Cuz he exposed the bad job done by ECSL
Our country’s Constitutions always speaks volumes ,why did the APC failed to file the so called inconsistencies in our court rather than rellying on the opinion of the US Ambassador? Come on….

Party pekin dem dey kam tok rubbish ges nor. Did the Ambassador spoke of APC and SLPP? NO! I hope. Rather, the spoke of “DEMOCRACY ” So let the word Democracy be Justified. Peace to MAMA SALONE
Can the Journalist publish the threats and expose who issued the threat? That way it cannot be a one-sided stpry.
The hope of Sierra Leoneans to express tgeir frustrations is a threat to the weak and incapable leaders
This is the problem with the stupid supporters of the SLPP they don’t want hear the truth
