Kudos to the police personnel. All those useless protesters who killed themselves, may their souls rest in hell. They will not make heaven and those arrested should face the full force of the law.

APC must respect our laws in Sierra Leone. Has there not been a point in time when APC was in power, when they abused and misused our constitution in the name of Maintaining themselves in power?? Cancelling a hole elections in Kenema and committing graves crimes such as which no President in our times has committed??? When in our history, Sierra Leone conducted an elections that is Free,Fair and Transparent in our nation's history?? President Bio has a big problem not to take blame to stabilize peace at once in Sierra Leone by pulling off some rotten eggs in or around the world at once. Why must you be afraid to Arrest that idiot, Adebayor. Una see na Makeni en kill me saful for saying the truth.

The people of Sierra Leone have rights to protest peacefully and that was what they did on September eleven. The constitution of Sierra Leone gives the rights to the people of Sierra Leone to protest or demonstrate against certain things they are not satisfied with. The main duty of the Sierra Leone police is to protect Lives and Properties. The main duty of any president in any country is the protect the constitution of of that country and the people of that country. In Sierra Leone the president does not protect the constitution and the people of this county. In the same way, the Sierra Leonean forces ( the police and the military) do not protect the people and their properties. Sierra Leone now is the only country in the world where the president does not allow any protest. The current President and his PAOPA supporters call any protester or any group of people who protest against anything in this country as "Terrorists." This is not a Democratic state!! The president also instructs his PAOPA security forces to kill and arrest protesters/demonstrators. For sure, Maada Bio is not democratic. Let us all think as Sierra Leoneans. Is this a way of governing a country?? By the way, Maada Bio has NEVER at any moment, spoken against the killings of armless protesters done by his PAOPA security forces. Instead of even condemning the act of killing, Maada Bio normally promote those officers who kill innocent people in this country. Maada Bio secretly celebrate by dancing when his rebel forces report any killing especially in the North Western regions. Maada Bio has not only destroyed the name of his family but has also contributed to the destruction of the SLPP party. Indeed, Maada Bio, his PAOPA killer forces, ECSL Boss and some of his ministers will have to face the ICC Prosecutor for the so many crimes committed against the people of Sierra Leone. Of course Abass Bundu as a professional lawyer has adultrated the conctitution of Sierra Leone for his selfish interest. Many officers of the PAOPA regime will have to be investigated by a "Commission of Inquiry" which will be setup by the next government.

Most of the Sierra Leone useless

Only the stupidity of sierra Leonean people have caused them to many death. Adebayoh is sitting peacefully in another country and sending you guys to death and you are listening to him. God has already chosen the leader so I don't just know what are all your protests about. Did you think your protests can take the power away from him? Sierra Leone people all what we need to know is that the world is about to end soon. That's why all such of things are happening now but you don't know about that. All what you need now is fervent prayer. Pray for God to have mercy on you. Pray for the nation sierra instead of going around for protests which will lead you to death for no good reason. Be wise up.

Kudos to the Sierra Leone police for maintaining law and order of our country.
Mohamed Kamara | 2023-09-13 07:07:28

All those unlawful protesters should be jailed for them to know that government is the sole maintainer of peace and order in this country. Well done to the Sierra Leone police keep it up. All those that will be found guilty of violating the law of the land should be dealt with. Those arrested and dead should call on Adebayoh to come and negotiate their release and wake up the dead ones. You people are very useless to fight for what you do t even know abiut.

The course of their death needs not to be investigated as they were killed by your men brutally
Abubakarr mustapha Bainda | 2023-09-13 05:32:00

You come and train them to be professional. I don't really know why some citizens are too loyal to party more than the law of the state? The country as a whole,it's bigger than any political party,the constitution of any country it's bigger than the party ambition. Therefore citizens are expected to be law abiding,so that the law will protect them,but if some are drunk politically,the law has to fall on them heavily and force them to be aware of the state law. Even the president is not above the law, humility shall only govern him while in power. I can't talk about you as opposition leaders. All those who have break the law,let the law discipline them.

The best job of SierraLeone police is how to raide drivers and bike riders but one day you will pay accounts for those money you collected lawfully from them you act like fools
Jalloh Mohamed Alie | 2023-09-13 00:16:33

Really the police of the day today they don't know the meaning of the word police and what they stand for because they are untrained and unqualified this is the problem of the police today the rebels are more better than them because these rebels fight for their rights as i know you are there to protect lives and property but you keep on killing your brothers and sisters Aunties and uncles fathers and mothers and destroy their property you turned enemies against your people but one day God will hold you responsible for failing to do what you take oath for first in history police officers to be cme a political shameful SierraLeone police
