As the campaign for the June 24th, 2023 elections intensifies across the country, a member of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) party has allegedly been beaten by supporters of the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) in Pujehun.
This allegation was made in a video circulating on social media with a man claiming to be an APC member explaining how he was badly beaten with his teeth broken by SLPP supporters.
According to the video, the man stated that he was coming from his uncle’s place and met one Mr. Koroma who asked him to bring his chair, on his way while bringing the chair, he met some guys who accused him of carrying an APC chair and asked him to drop it or they will kill him and started beating him until his teeth were broken.
According to a man in the video who identified himself as the APC publicity secretary for Pujehun District, they have made several complaints regarding attack on them in the district.
He said they want the International community to know what the SLPP is doing to them adding that it will reach a point where they will not allow such bullying.
“We have made several complaints and now calling on the international community to know what the SLPP is doing as it will reach a point when we will not agree to such”.
He claimed that the SLPP are always distracting their campaign in Pujehun as they always organized other activities during their (APC) approved campaign date in the district.
Why are you not investigating issues before you send them on your medium. This is a very big lie. The whole knows that APC is the violent party and not the SLPP. What do you about the threat of unlawful demonstration already planned by APC members come the 12th of this June?
This Slpp party really not good for the citizens in all out
Were you on the scene when this, happen, na wae Toto u yone teeth fen broke na e make u dae say na lie.
We are not talking about a planned demonstration that has nothing to do with the APC, we are about the beating of our comrade with teeth broken and the persistent threat to our supporters in the Pujehun district.
