Maada Bio and his wife were involved in buring more than sixteen life -children at one night in Kailahun district. They have not been protecting children in this country, rather,they have been punishing and harassing children.
In Bo town hall, for example, many children heavely suffered when the stadium collapsed over their heads.
Children collapsed under the hot burning sun when they were left under the sun while listening to Maada Bio’s speech.
Maada Bio is a very wicked government and has no respect for human rights and children’s rights.
