Concern is mounting among residents of Freetown after the rail-guard pipes along the Hill By-Pass Road were mysteriously removed.
The protective barriers, crucial for ensuring the safety of motorists navigating the steep and winding road, were reportedly taken by unknown individuals, prompting fears that they may have been stolen.
The Hill By-Pass Road, a vital artery in Freetown’s traffic system, is notorious for its challenging terrain, with sharp turns and steep inclines that pose a significant risk to drivers, particularly during the rainy season.
The rail-guard pipes, installed to prevent vehicles from veering off the road, play a crucial role in mitigating accidents and ensuring the safety of both drivers and pedestrians.
Several concerned citizens have taken to social media, expressing their frustration and fear, with many suggesting that the rail-guards may have been stolen for their metal, a commodity that can fetch a high price on the black market.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the matter, but there are growing calls for an investigation into the incident.
Salone man wicked n witch
Ohhh salone
Sabotage.
Na wi sef wi de do.
I see all these comments and post making runs on social media however it must be noted that they were never there in the first place. Come to think of it if they have installed it, it would take a lot of machine power to remove each one besides the noise alone could have alerted nearby residents. I appreciate the efforts in spreading news but please always look for credible sources this is my area and they have never installed these claim irons or rods thank you.
