I recommend the hard work of the Sierra Leone police. Having a full confidence in force.. I believe they are able to go face to face with this hard drugs abusers and dealers. I feel pain when I see my brothers and sisters dieing and hopelessly roaming on roads and waterside's garthering plastics to make their living for now and to their futures. I call upon the communities and into every leaders owning residents to carefully knows what who they might be dealing with. For all these Kush smokers and dealers are commonly dwelling among the people they hope they might help them to Scott free. I Appel to the Government to steadfastly stand strong and rise up on their feet to help toll gates in the harvest of Corruptions. I admire the police and every individuals that helps tackle the victims of serious drugs addicts. May there forces Honor grows and keep it up by bringing victims into justice.
