The Wise Bird has been getting sleepless nights since the unauthorized landing of an aircraft at the Freetown International Airport (FNA) almost a week now.
However, that incident has raised very serious concerns by peace-loving Sierra Leoneans who have described the country as unsafe to live in.
According to information about the aircraft four individuals were found on board, three out of the four were identified as Mexican nationals while one holds a Spanish passport.
Information reaching the Wise Bird states that, the crews claimed that, it was due to a radio failure prior to the flight landing but upon investigations by a technical team it showed that the radio was fully operational during the time of its landing.
It has been confirmed, though that, the four individuals found in the aircraft have been handed over to the Sierra Leone police (SLP) for further investigations.
However, preliminary investigations into the unauthorized aircraft shows that, the aircraft did not fly from any recognized airfield in Liberia, the aircraft landed without permit, and that the aircraft was flying under a fake registration number and many more was said about it.
Upon search conducted into aircraft by the authorities (Police) nothing of interest was found.
Understandably, the aircraft has been handed over to the ONS, Police and Army personnel for security.
Few years back an unauthorized aircraft landed in the Far East and the investigation on it critically died a natural death. The Wise Bird only hopes that, this time around the public will know the outcome of the investigations.
The question the Wise Bird would like to ask is that, why always are unauthorized landings at Sierra Leone’s airport?
It will be unwise for the Wise Bird to treat this as a sensitive issue but without getting the views of the general populace on this.
All those the bird contacted expressed dismay over the unauthorized landing of the aircraft; the people described Sierra Leone as unsafe country.
Something is behind this unauthorized landing in the country, if proper investigations are conducted, something will surely come out of that investigation.
The general public together with the Wise Bird will keep close eyes on the investigation if there will be any.
Others said all those on duty at the time of the unauthorized landing must be investigated to know the fact maybe, cocaine and other drugs might have been found in the plane and kept before the search was conducted.
The Wise Bird and his friend the Eagle will follow up on the investigations secretly to get the more facts on this issue.
