I remain to consider this, a great display of gallantry by our soja. He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword. Big Fish decided to go that same way. He shot at a civilian first then also shot at a soldier. No other option to treat this merciless and brutal act of Big Fist Foday Allieu except the return fire of a trained soldier. I warn every soldier to put a bullet proof on because such an event of Big Fish may occur at any time. Big Fish, bye bye !! Now the small fish can parade up and down the waters freely. My sympathy to the innocent family and friends of Big Fish.

Do we appreciate our security forces? They are human beings like us. Your suggested method of disarmament in that situation would have resulted to lost of innocent lives.

Oh salone why are some people so bias in judgment. Frankly speaking the Soldier did the right thing and intact he should be motivated. In the USA, police will shoot at you for making an attempt to put your hands in your pocket when halted, I can't say you holding a gun disarmed from a police officer and shooting indiscriminately in a public setting. You will be shot on sight.

Sierra Leone police are not train at all, the only thing they know is to run after bike riders and podapoda drivers and collect bribes from them.
Wisdom | 2023-09-21 19:34:53

Everybody is saying now the military and police officers are not trained well. This are some of the reasons why this country is hard to develop, because we will see the truth and still kick it with our feet.

He deserves to be gun down. I love soldiers
Moadi Feika | 2023-09-21 18:19:28

There is no justifiable reason why you should disarm an officer
Med | 2023-09-21 18:15:33

Sometimes I look at the comments of certain people and find it difficult to understand In the first place, the man took the weapon from an OSD and started firing at people. From the video, he fired at the military man that approached him Rules of engagement But anyways
| 2023-09-21 18:03:26

Mr. Tommy can you please help us with the full story?
Joseph Charles Mustapha Senesie | 2023-09-21 17:45:53

The OSD must have a questions to be answered. It must be a plan set
| 2023-09-21 17:29:20

Sierra Leone, if the soldier was well trained he should have disarmed big fish without any injury, and big fish face the law...... these guys are not well trained.....the police and soldiers.
Gibril Koroma | 2023-09-21 17:24:25

Just watching news: the victim took q police officer's gun and started firing indiscriminately at people. He was asked to put the gun down by another police officer but he shot at the officer twice, resulting in him being gunned down.
| 2023-09-21 16:28:20

I wish I got the full video. I really admire at soldier
Fatima Jabbe Bio | 2023-09-21 16:24:54

Oh Salone Police and military, they're not properly trained to handle any situation, they're all trigger happy. If the OSD was really trained, how can a common civilian overpower him and took his gun? They shouldn't have killed him, they should have give him few warnings and if he refuses, they shoot him in the legs and took the gun from him and arrested him, but our police and military are not trained for such. All they teaches them in training camp and HQ is to stop drivers and riders and collect bribe.
John Rymous | 2023-09-21 16:21:16

Aaaaaa Salon which direction gban we dea go bah God save Salon

Moses Alusine Massaquoi | 2023-09-21 15:29:10

Super | 2023-09-21 15:18:20

This is not the first time that he has been confrontational with the security forces...those who lived by the gun die by it ...lesson to all
Hassan Tommy | 2023-09-21 15:11:27
