One of Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) oldest members and political prisoner, Walter Dagbe Smith has yesterday passed away in Freetown.
The 91-year-old veteran, who resided in George Brook, Dwazark, breathed his last breath on Saturday, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of resilience and dedication to his party.
Walter Dagbe Smith was not only an influential figure within the SLPP but also a prominent Senior Dispatcher within the party’s ranks. His unwavering commitment to the cause and unwavering support made him an invaluable asset to the SLPP throughout his life.
However, Walter Dagbe Smith’s journey was not without hardship. During the tumultuous 1970s, he faced persecution under the regime of President Siaka Stevens, a time when political dissent was met with severe consequences. Smith was unjustly incarcerated at the notorious Mafanta prison, enduring the struggles and suffering of being a political prisoner.
Despite the adversity he faced, Smith’s unwavering belief in the principles of the SLPP sustained him throughout his time behind bars.
As news of his passing spreads, tributes are pouring in from across the political spectrum.
May his perfect soul rest in peace
May his gentle soul RIP

His soul will rest in hell this the way most of the current slpp supporters will end. Slpp will pay for all the bad things that they have done in this country SL
In reply to that fool call Lucky Don who wish Mr. Smith soul to rest in hell, think about your parents if someone has wished them the same you have wished for Mr Smith how would you feel. Think about the late President Stevens what his soul is crying or begging for forgiveness for past evil deals.
