The family of three youths allegedly killed by the presidential convoy has expressed deep anger over the handling of the incident.
The victims, who were electricians, had returned to their hometown of Mamalike Village to electrify the local mosque.
While returning to Freetown, the three youths encountered the presidential convoy at Masoreh Junction. Eyewitnesses claim that their motorcycle was struck by the convoy, resulting in the tragic deaths of the young men. Reports indicate that the convoy did not stop after the collision.
A family member, visibly distraught, shared, “My brothers’ bodies were unrecognizable; they were torn apart.” The family also recounted their frustration in retrieving the bodies from the police, stating they waited for hours before they were finally released.
In an effort to assist with the burial, the government provided three ambulances and a police patrol truck. However, the burial took place at 1 a.m., and by that time, the police had left the cemetery.
The family was informed they would receive a bag of rice and financial support from the police, reportedly amounting to 60,000 Leones, but they have yet to receive any funds from the government.
Additionally, the family has reached out to local stakeholders for support, but many are hesitant to speak out due to the involvement of the presidential convoy in the incident. The family’s grief and frustration continue to grow as they seek justice for their loved ones.
What a wicked world that we are living.
May their souls rest in peace 🙏 🪦 😢
This is an unfortunate situation. May their respective soul RIP. It’s always advisable to keep your distance from the Presidential convoy, Ambulance, and Police escort. It prohibited a presidential convoy from stopping on route to its destination regardless of what.
May Allah forgive their shortcomings. But fair enough there’s no where in the world that a presidential convey will break for such incident
Aaaaa bo!
This e so painful
Did they not hear the siren? Did they not see the first escorts or outriders? If they flagrantly disobeyed the rules of circulating in traffic and expect a convoy to stop because they were hit, then they are dreaming. This should serve as a lesson all those useless jackasses who think they own the roads because they know how to balance themselves on a motorcycle. I feel sorry for the passengers, but if the persons who died were the riders, I am saving my sorrow. The country has become too lawless.
