The Regional Criminal Investigations Department Freetown-East of the Harbour Police Division is presently investigating fifty-six (56) suspects that were arrested at Summit Gate, Fullah Town, via Monkey Bush, Waterloo, on Tuesday 27th December 2022, at about 22:00 hours. The 56 suspects comprise past and present students belonging to one of the fraternities of Fourah Bay College (FBC).

Addressing personnel on parade, the Regional Silver Commander Freetown-East AIG Aiah Edward Samadiya mentioned that suspects were arrested based on intelligence received of possible security-related issues.

It could be recalled that there is an existing ban placed on all university club activities especially on the initiation of new members. Some of these initiations have resulted in the loss of lives.

All the suspects unanimously agreed that their gathering was unlawful as they obtained no clearance from the SLP. The investigation is speedily in progress to unravel the crux of this matter.
