Woman and Daughter Allegedly Brutalized by Police and Unknown Men Over Land Dispute in Freetown
Valentine Benjamin Conteh A disturbing case of alleged brutality has emerged, sparking public outrage and calls for justice. Reports indicate that a group of unknown men, allegedly accompanied by police officers, stormed a woman’s residence at Sussex Second Junction, vandalized her shop, and reportedly made away with NLe 250,000 in cash.
Eyewitnesses and local sources say both the woman and her daughter were subjected to a violent beating during the incident. The attack is allegedly tied to an ongoing land dispute one which, according to credible sources, had already been settled by the courts in the woman’s favor.
Despite the legal ruling, the brazen nature of the assault has raised serious concerns about the abuse of authority and lack of enforcement of judicial decisions. Residents and rights advocates are calling for an urgent, independent investigation into the matter.
