The Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) has expressed deep sorrow over a tragic shooting incident that occurred at approximately 11:00 a.m. today at the Armed Forces Training Centre (AFTC) in Benguema.
According to official reports, Corporal Kamara, also known by the alias “No.9”, fatally shot his superior officer, Major Abdul Larkoh.
Immediately after the incident, Corporal Kamara attempted to take his own life in an apparent effort to avoid arrest, investigation, and prosecution.
Corporal Kamara was apprehended in a critical condition and rushed to the 34 Military Hospital for urgent medical attention. He was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival.
The leadership of the RSLAF has ordered an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding both the shooting and the subsequent death of Corporal Kamara. Authorities have assured the public that updates will be provided as facts continue to unfold.
In a statement, the RSLAF urged the public to remain calm and to rely on official communication channels for accurate information.
Why won’t the government take guns away from soldiers and OSDs and give them tear gas or pepper spray to stop the killings if they are to be equipped at all costs? We’ve heard and seen many incidents including the Lungi Airport, 55 Waterloo, now Benguema right in the heart of the RSLAF. Only God knows where next. Leh God help we
Our country is at peace so take all guns from the soldiers hand ✋ before for incidents occur, this is very sad.
This is common because drugs and alcohol are highly used by security forces! Imagine an OSD cocked a gun at my friend in a night club over common woman issue simply because he was drunk! We sensitively managed that situation to let him drop his gun down!! Government should try very hard to eradicate drugs and alcohol usage among people who legally carry guns
