A self-proclaimed career criminal Sam Walker has arrived in Sierra Leone where he is taunting police after fleeing the United Kingdom by private jet while on bail for suspected drug offenses.

DailyMail reports that 39-year-old Walker who has more than 100 crimes to his name was arrested near Bournemouth, Dorset, on February 14 and bailed on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs.

He then embarked on a six-day journey across continents, including private jets, cargo ships, and overland travel crossing Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa to Sierra Leone.

Walker’s social media posts, titled “How to sneak out of the UK 2024,” show him taking a private plane to Belgium, followed by flights to Egypt and Morocco. He then claims to have bribed his way onto a cargo ship and traversed Africa by car, eventually reaching Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.

In his social media videos, Walker said: “Coz I’ve got no passport I have to take these mad routes to get to Sierra Leone.

“I got a plane to a remote field in Antwerp. Then a flight from Belgium to near Cairo.

“Now I’m heading to Morocco via Port Said and then driving across the Sahara into Sierra Leone.” In one video, taken on a ship, Walker shows a bag stuffed full of £50 notes.

He claims to have met Sierra Leone’s vice-president, Mohammed Juldeh Jalloh, during his visit to Freetown and has spent thousands installing a 5,000-litre freshwater tank and new water pipes in Freetown after seeing “men, women, and children dying.”

The crime suspect maintains his innocence regarding his latest drug charges, claiming they are fabricated. However, he risks being jailed for breaching the terms of his bail upon his return to the UK.

Walker has spent most of his adult life in and out of jail. He was sentenced to four-and-a-half year’ jail in 2008 after being caught peddling heroin and crack cocaine on the streets of Widnes and Runcorn in Cheshire. His gang earned up to £2,500 a day before being caught in a police sting that saw £12million of drugs seized along with luxury cars, bundles of cash and jewellery.

Merseyside Police have not commented on Walker’s claims or his current whereabouts. However, they have likely initiated efforts to apprehend him and bring him back to the UK to face justice.
