Military Officer Shoots Himself Dead in Freetown

1 Oct 2024 • 1 min read • 71,333 views • 34 comments

A tragic incident occurred in Freetown today as an officer of the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) took his own life.

Reports indicate that the soldier, driven by emotional distress over alleged infidelity by his partner, turned the gun on himself.

A distressing video circulating on social media captures the moments leading up to the incident. Witnesses can be heard pleading with the soldier to reconsider his actions, but he refused, pointing the firearm at his chest and firing.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation. Authorities are working to gather more details about the soldier’s personal life and the events that led to the tragic outcome.

Who is that person that uttered “kill u sef, kill u sef” when the other person was appealing to the deceased not to kill himself.

Counselling was needed there but the other person added to the young man’s plight.

Wow this is terrible.
Act of Hezbollah. What emotional distress can lead you to kill yourself as a military officer? Weak minded.

This is complicated, others plead not to kill himself while others said kill yourself, according to the voices that I had.
May the truth prevail.

He should have shot the other man who was saying ”kill u sef” before killing himself. That’s the price for worsening someone’s predicament.

If I am the head of the army, I’ll definitely imprison the soldier or person who said, “kill yourself”.

Also, the person who video him live should be charged for man slaughter… He should have attempted to save him instead of videoing him live

It is in the Sierra Leone act that no one has the right to take his or her own life or any other sierra Leonean. He waisted the precious life giving him by the creator. What sought of depression can lead him to his death like this? He had committed a crime in the nation and sinned against God for taking his own life. Now I wonder what await him in the after life.

Oh my God 😮 this guy why must you kill yourself this way? Infidelity offence are issues that can be resolved. This alleged infidelity offence is when a soldier is caught of suspected of Sleeping with his colleague’s wife or daughter. Should that be the reason for me to kill myself because my wife accused me? God forbid.

Those saying ‘rest in peace’, I tell you definitely that soldier will not rest in peace because God did not ask him to kill himself. Life is so precious and must be protected. Sad!
