The Sierra Leone Police have confirmed the arrest of senior politician Abdul Kadiru Kaikai, who has been detained for questioning following controversial statements made in a video that has recently gone viral. In the video, Kaikai, who has ambitions for the presidency in 2028, issued a grave threat, vowing to instigate a deadly conflict in Sierra Leone if he is not elected.
The statements have sparked widespread condemnation from various quarters. Theophanous Momoh, a prominent figure in Sierra Leonean politics and a respected member of the ruling Sierra People’s Party (SLPP), criticized Kaikai’s remarks. Momoh, who played a leading role in the SLPP’s campaign during the 2023 general elections, labeled the comments as not only reckless but also a direct assault on the nation’s peace and democracy. He emphasized that Kaikai’s threats constitute a blatant act of disrespect toward President Julius Maada Bio, urging for an unequivocal condemnation of such provocations.
The Sierra Leone Police are currently investigating the incident, seeking to ascertain the full extent of Kaikai’s intentions and any potential risks to national security. The video’s content and the ensuing public reaction have raised significant concerns about the potential for unrest, prompting authorities to act swiftly to prevent any escalation.
This development underscores the sensitive nature of political discourse in Sierra Leone and the crucial need for responsible communication from public figures. The police’s actions are a critical step in addressing the threats posed by such inflammatory statements and maintaining the country’s stability. As the investigation continues, the broader political landscape awaits further developments on this high-profile case.
Kadiru na useless boy!!!!!.
The younger folks are key factors in destroying the peace and stability of the country all in the name of politics. Those speeches he made with all seriousness.
But he knows that even if he does something more than that they have nothing to do with him.
Cease they are the ones in power. All these press releases are just to fully the ordinary citizens. Let one opposition member try this one by now he is in Pademba Road.
The Sierra Leone Peoples part governments failed the people of Sierra Leone by leaving the country in stagnation 😭
Once again our astute SLP have done a great job! The Rule of Law is in full action. Congrats to the Government.
He has to be questioned.
He needs serious questioning
This no need to ask questions to this unruling human being ,they just need to prison him like one year in remind then he will know what to say next time and they stop him to take part in politics.
Samura kamara said the worst about continuing to destroy this nation.
Must be the kush. I hope SLPP knows to dismiss him from their party. We saw such behaviour from Maada Bio years ago. We need to take the warning seriously.
Dis cow boy ya E get sweh o, nor to Kush E take en
It all falls there is no arrest mad to him, they are just fooling the fools.
All the arrest made by the SLP since paopa came in power till date have pictures or video, but this one, no! The low doesn’t ment for the ruling government and their supporters. We pray that Allah fight for us the non politicians in Sierra Leone.
AMEEN 🤲🏾
I knew it right from the start, you didn’t come or supported maada Bio with genuine intends. You were shaved / shaded off haven seen the popular demand for maada bio’s second term.
Threatening war ravaged salone with another war must be a grievous mistake by anyone irrespective of who you are. Kadiru Abdul Kaikai, ( RIP in advance) don’t be fool by the following you have been enjoying, we can not trade our party to anyone or for anything. We do appreciate your help/ efforts during the campaign but that’s not enough to have warrant to say such ungodly words. Did you ask before you jumped into political waters? Governor Clarkson’s prayers still covered us.
