Reports reaching Africa24 have revealed that one of the two Immigration Officers arrested; Abubakarr Sesay of No. 10Y Thompson Bay, off Wilkinson Road Freetown for allegedly issuing out a passport to Baimba Moiforay, aka LAC life is under serious death threat by the authorities who gave him instruction to carry out the exercise on one hand and members of the opposition (APC) who are baying for his blood on the other hand and by extension the State.
According to credible sources, Abubakarr Sesay got a call sometime in January 2022, from his boss to process a passport for Baimba Moiforay, aka LAC this orders Africa 24 discovered came from the following personalities: Internal Affairs Minister, David Panda Noah, Attorney General, Anthony Yewoh Brewah, Inspector General of Police, Ambrose Michael Sovula and Deputy Internal Affairs Minister, Lahai Lawrence Leema for him to process a passport for him (LAC).
In an investigation carried out by Africa24, Abubakarr Sesay we are told verified the authenticity of the information from his senior bosses whether it was true, after verifying our source went on that Abubakarr Sesay carried out the process diligently as it was orders from above.
Following the procession and issuance of the passport to Baimba Moiforay both Abubakarr Sesay and another immigration officer Michael Momoh Bassie of No. 15 Newcastle Street Kissy Freetown were arrested on February 10, 2022 for allegedly facilitating LAC’s escape.
Report stated that Abubakarr Sesay spent seven days in detention at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Pademba Road in Freetown. Africa24 gathered that prior to his release from detention; he spent well over Twenty Million Leones (Le 20,000,000.00).
However, following his release, Abubakarr Sesay received unwarranted death threats by his bosses who were later on dismissed by President Bio for allegedly helping Baimba Moiforay, aka LAC escape and also from the All Peoples’ Congress(APC) party who wanted him prosecuted and rot in jail for his action even though it was an order given by his bosses.
Abubakarr Sesay, report further stated was solely accused of issuing out the passport to Baimba Moiforay, aka LAC despite the fact that he had no executive authority whatsoever to execute such action.
During the course of our investigation we discovered that, following the dismissal of the Internal Affairs Minister, David Panda Noah, Attorney General, Anthony Yewoh Brewah, Inspector General of Police, Ambrose Michael Sovula and Deputy Internal Affairs Minister, Lahai Lawrence Leema; Abubakarr Sesay’s life became under serious death threat by people hired by these personnel that he had framed them up of an action they have no idea about which led to their dismissal.
There was a public outcry for all those who allegedly facilitated LAC’s controversial release that led to the revocation of the Presidential pardon to be prosecuted; Abubakarr Sesay was allegedly single out to bear the gravest crime.
It could be recalled that President Julius Maada Bio had on January, 1 2022 released Baimba Moiforay and 159 other prisoners from Prison as a Presidential pardon pursuant to S. 40 (4) (e) and S. 63 of the 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone Act No. 6.
However, when it was discovered that Baimba Moiforay shouldn’t have been pardoned; President Dr. Julius Maada Bio revoked with immediate effect the clemency granted to him on 1st January 2022 but by then LAC had left the shores of Sierra Leone.
Following Abubakarr Sesay’s release from detention he has been facing constant death threat on his life and totally insecure which has led to his disappearance. However, this medium cannot ascertain his exact whereabouts as we went to press last night. What we are certain of Abubakarr Sesay may be a worried man fearing he might be killed due to lack of protection on his precious life.
