The newly appointed Minister of Internal Affairs Rtd. Major General David T.O Taluva has in the handing over ceremony at its Headquarters situated at Gloucester Street promised to wage war on Kush noting that it is a killer which has also hampered the health hazards and progress of many users. It has also lead to the increase in prostitution and thievery especially in major towns and capitals where both wholesalers and retailers concentrate their activities. Concern citizens have opined that if the new Minister really means business, he should commence Overt and Covert investigations to the inner circle of the Sierra Leone Police and the Customs Officials.

Investigations conducted by this medium have revealed that there is a sealed conspiracy between a group of local importers known as Chain of Command and our border police and customs officials. The investigations proved that at Madina Lorry Park in Conakry neighbouring Guinea, large vehicles loaded with hundreds of unidentified cartoons destination Freetown arrive at the Kambia border unchecked. The investigation proves that both the police and customs would have unloaded those cartoons for thorough inspection, but in contrary, that does not happen.

Our protected source say the driver embarks and make way to the office of the superiors and whatever might have transacted is best known to them as the truck is set to continue its journey. The same suspicious tokens also go to officers at Masiaka and Mile 38. The source said, the owners of the goods travelled with hired taxis plying the Guinea/Sierra Leonean route to receive their goods. The underground investigations proved that the importers then called on their customers to inform them about the new arrivals. They rapidly distributed the Kush and await their monies to be paid after.

In Freetown, investigations proved that the complicity also goes beyond imagination as anti-drug officers awaits the various big time retailers who could easily be identified in all Rincon’s of the capital and its vicinity. For their brown envelops.

Meanwhile, the number of consumers both male and female in the capital is estimated to be over 500,000 and 800,000 more nationwide. The sources say for the Rtd. Major General David T.O Taluva to succeed he should not trust even the officer next to him.
