The Sierra Leone Police in Kenema have arrested two individuals for the alleged illegal possession of suspected Kush as part of ongoing operations to curb drug trafficking and abuse within the municipality.
According to police sources in the Kenema Division, the arrests were made on Thursday, 29 January 2026, during separate operations carried out by divisional police officers under a sustained campaign to disrupt the sale and distribution of illicit drugs, particularly suspected Kush.
In the first incident, which occurred at about 3:20 p.m., the Kenema Division Operations Officer, Inspector M. S. Conteh, and his team arrested Wuyeah Kamara at his residence at No. 39 Blama Road in Kenema.
The operation was conducted under the command of the Local Unit Commander, Chief Superintendent of Police Emmanuel Kpulun. Police said that twenty-one wraps of suspected Kush were recovered during the arrest.
Earlier the same day, at about 10:30 a.m., Police Corporal 11546 Koroma Augustine and his team arrested another suspect, Ansu Boima, popularly known as “Governor,” in the I.D.A Section of Kenema. Police sources said that forty-four wraps of suspected Kush were recovered from the suspect during the operation.
Police described the arrests as part of the Kenema Division’s intensified efforts to suppress drug-related criminal activities in the city.
Both suspects are currently in police custody, while investigations continue at the Transnational Organized Crime Unit to establish the full circumstances surrounding the possession of the substances and to determine whether the suspects are linked to a wider distribution network.
The Sierra Leone Police reiterated its commitment to ensuring public safety and combating drug abuse and related crimes. The police also appealed to members of the public to continue supporting law enforcement efforts by providing timely and credible information to help address the growing threat of illegal drugs in communities.
