An investigation has been launched into allegations that security personnel employed by the brother of Sierra Leone’s Vice President, Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, brutally assaulted one Abass Mustapha Koroma who residents within the community claimed to be mentally deranged in Funkia Village.
The incident, which took place on Sunday, September 15, 2024, involves Abass Mustapha Koroma, a resident of the community.
Koroma, told Sierra loaded that he was wrongfully detained and beaten by Francis, a military officer, and another private security guard stationed at the residence of the Vice President’s brother.
Koroma, who was spotted wandering within the compound’s perimeter, said he was falsely accused of theft by Francis, which led to the violent attack. Koroma alleges that both security personnel mercilessly beat him, forcing him to flee when he saw an opportunity.
Upon escaping, Koroma returned to his family in a battered state. His cousin, Yusuf Sillah, was shocked to find him severely injured. With the help of neighbors, Sillah sought clarification from the accused security personnel.
After detecting discrepancies in their accounts, Sillah decided to report the matter to the Funkia Police Station the following day.
The case was officially lodged in by Officer Mohamed Conteh attached at the Funkia police station on Monday, September 16, 2024. An invitation was issued for Francis to appear for questioning on Wednesday, September 18 but suddenly according to findings his employer has asked him to go on leave.
However, both Francis and the security guard failed to show up, with current guards claiming they were on leave. Efforts to reach them have so far been unsuccessful.
Funkia Police confirmed that an investigation is ongoing. Officer Conteh noted that further information could not be disclosed without approval from higher authorities.
Meanwhile, Koroma continues to suffer from the severe injuries sustained during the assault. His family, already burdened by financial strain, is struggling to cover the mounting medical expenses.
Koroma’s younger brother, Peter Kargbo, expressed frustration at seeing his brother’s condition, emphasizing that although Koroma has mental health challenges, he is not known for causing trouble or stealing.
The family is now calling for justice and accountability, hoping that the police investigation will lead to appropriate legal action against those responsible for the attack.

Seriously this boy has mental health problems, I know him very well as friends, with no bad community records. And I came to understand that this boy this problems with family fight. Which by 2014 to 2015 in understand I understand that he has gone mad. And by 2013 or 14 when Ebola started in Sierra Leone he one of the front line fighters, they inspire and motivate us to be among the Ebola fighters. Working For Emergency Hospital S.L. From lakka hospital to M.M.T.U Goderich campus filed. So this boy completely went mad. When we aer not happy to good friend of my in that condition
I met this boy during my visit to the country 2012 one of the best citizen’s you will like to be around with. Calm dedicated and a very good football player the country needs to promote to the highest level. Saying he’s mad, that’s an unacceptable statements. In Sierra Leone people can classified another’s with mental issues without an approval from a mental health professionals. It’s might be a frustrating from one problem or something else. But seeing him brutalized by vice president family is unbelievable because of their position in the government is too bad, even a dog doesn’t deserve it 😭 let justice prevail for Abass Koroma as a real citizen of Sierra Leone. We believe he was brutalized because of his family name nothing else. He’s a Koroma but not connected to the former president Koroma family. He is true Koroma both from father and mother side. Let stop 🛑 tribalism in Sierra Leone by bringing justice for this innocent boy.
The Vice President of Sierra Leone and his family committed human rights abuse against innocent citizens that beautiful nation. Stop human brutality and tribalism in Sierra Leone
Wby don’t you just keep quiet and stop writing this rubbish? When your parents send you to school, you bribe teachers to promote you. This is the result. You can not express yourself in English. The trash you have written is full of grammatical errors.
Just keep quiet and continue to embarrass yourself for the rest of your miserable life.
It’s very sad that such is happening all because of tribalism and hate towards the fomer president, human rights should look into this more
Well English should not be a problem here , even in Engeland people don’t speak English but they communicating and used dictionary. Can you write your mother”s language? You been brain washed with your English tribe. Didn’t you remember Africans passed all other subjects written in English but they failed English as a subject? But they admire when when a French, Duitse, Dutch, or Italian try to express themselves in English tribe? Africans laugh their fellow Africans when they try to express themselves English tribe while they forgetting their original languages that is not originated from non latin words. Please let’s talk about the brutality and human rights abuse happening everyday in that beautiful nation. Stop human rights abuse in Sierra Leone if you are one of them because Sierra Leone still stay on top of the list about human rights abuse, lawlessness brutally treats one and other behind doors. We born out of Sierra Leone but we are Sierra Leoneans by blood and we want to go home and we want peace love and harmony to be there. The land that we love Sierra Leone and it’s does not belong to one person but to us all. Let everyone holding a position in that nation work for the benefits of the country and it’s people, stop 🛑 being brain Wash with Europeans tribes and try develop your original languages that sounds great 👍😃 Let Justice prevail for Abass koroma and the rest that been brutalized innocently. Peace ✌️🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱 must be there in Sierra Leone that all we want, and Sierra Leoneans must proud of themselves and their nation Internally and externally. English is a development but how do you work to develop yourself and others
Take examples from Asians countries without any English speaking tribe or resources Sierra Leone has, and they well developed they don’t depends on donors but you can speak English living in poverty and rubbish all over around you and Did you really asked yourselves what English tribe had done for you all the past years till now? May God bless Abass koroma and give him the right people to bring evil doer’s to justice.
