The Sierra Leone Police has successfully intercepted a large quantity of suspected tramadol in the Tokeh community, located on the Western Area Peninsula of Freetown.
The operation was initiated based on credible intelligence and led by Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Sylvester M.N. Koroma, the Regional Police Commander for Freetown West.
A joint task force was mobilized from the Goderich Police Division, under the leadership of Chief Superintendent of Police Alimamy Sesay. The team included personnel from the Operational Support Division (OSD), General Duty, and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Despite facing initial challenges in locating the hideout, the team’s determination led to the discovery of a substantial consignment of suspected tramadol. The haul consisted of sixteen (16) gross and five (5) packets, each containing 250 milligrams of the substance.
The recovered drugs were promptly handed over to Chief Superintendent Mohamed K. Allieu, the Head of the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU), for further investigation.
The successful operation underscores the Sierra Leone Police’s commitment to intelligence-led and community-supported policing. It follows a recent drug seizure on Taylor Street, demonstrating the ongoing success of coordinated efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region.
AIG Sylvester Koroma emphasized his dedication to enhancing public safety through strategic partnerships, intelligence sharing, and sustained action against organized crime.
