Ady Macauley Accuses Sierra Leone Police of Targeting Prominent Members of The Main Opposition APC

Former Anti-Corruption Commissioner and member of the All People’s Congress (APC), Ady Macauley, has accused Sierra Leone police of being involved in the arrest of prominent members of the main opposition party, the All People’s Congress (APC).

According to Ady Macauley, a series of arrests have taken place, with at least five APC members being apprehended in recent days.

Ady goes on to explain that the situation became even more concerning when Tamba Koroma, a nominated Councillor for Western Rural and an APC member, received a distress call. Koroma claimed that he had been asked to report to the Waterloo police station. Before he could fully process the call, Arthur Pearce, another APC member, contacted him with a similar story. Pearce reported that the police had forcefully entered his vehicle and demanded that he accompany them to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

Ady further states that the police must decide whether to maintain their reputation as a professional law enforcement agency or risk being seen as a tool of the ruling party. The decision they make will have significant implications for the country’s political climate and the public’s trust in law enforcement.

These incidents have raised serious questions about the impartiality and professionalism of the Sierra Leone Police. The APC has accused the police force of acting as a biased security apparatus for the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The party argues that the police’s actions indicate a deliberate targeting of APC members, which undermines the principles of a democratic society.

The arrests of opposition party members have sparked widespread concern among the public, with many questioning the motives behind these actions. Supporters of the APC argue that such behavior undermines the credibility of the police force and poses a threat to the country’s democratic institutions.

The APC and its supporters are demanding a thorough investigation into these incidents, urging the authorities to ensure the independence of the police force and hold accountable those responsible for any misconduct. They emphasize the importance of fair and impartial treatment of all political parties and their members, regardless of their affiliations.

Mr. Macauley you are a true Sierra Leonean and indeed a fearless Democrat. The PAOPA police force has been instructed by the PAOPA government to humilate, molest and intimidate all members of the APC. Indeed, there is no form of democracy in this country. The police, the military, Civil Society Organization (CSOs), the ECSL, the Judiciary, the Bike riders Union, the Drivers Union and all other Unions are registered members of the PAOPA regime. They have been paid some money to protect the PAOPA government and to suppress the poor people of this county. This is a REBEL tactics. Infact, all the heads of those institutions and the PAOPA ministers were rebel. Maada Bio deliberately put them there as a way to compensate most of them for their loyalty to him during the ten years rebel war in this country. Maada Bio was and still a rebel. There are a lot of instances to support my statement. He kills without any remose, He is very happy when the people of Sierra Leone are suffering and dying with hunger. All those support him are directly benefiting from his vices Poor Sierra Leoneans, please resist this Rebel president for a better Sierra Leone.

Let's just imagime the attitude of the apc thugs that were captured in Bo yesterday with their paramilitary wing. The apc is a lawless system and a hooligan cabal, but they will surely receive their reward.

You see the dishonesty of these so-called APC things? If they are sincere, let them go and prove their innocence , the apc party is a lawless criminal cabal that has diabolical plan for the coming election and by extension the country. But God will surely expose them.
