Usually reliable information reaching Africa 24 has revealed that a Sierra Leonean, Lamin Kargbo a driver, wife and two kids, a boy and a girl lives are reportedly under serious threat as their exact whereabouts remain a mystery.

According to credible sources, Lamin Kargbo is alleged to be a close ally to the late social media blogger and warhorse Hassan Dumbuya, aka Evangelist Sampson who was brutally murdered by unidentified gun men in Makeni; in the aftermath of the August 10, 2022 protest by youth against incumbent president Bio.

The youth accused president Bio of gross human rights violations, especially against members of the opposition APC. His ineptitude to create jobs, lack of fiscal discipline.

Furthermore, his inability to fix the economic hardship, due to the skyrocketing inflation, poor standard of living and rampant corruption within his administration, despite his tough approach against graft which they described as a hoax.

Sources further revealed to Africa24 that Lamin Kargbo, was a key player in circulating audio messages released by Evangelist Sampson that were attached with calls for regime change and uprising against the state.

Sampson’s audios messages, authorities in Sierra Leone deemed as insightful and have the tendency of causing anarchy; due to his uncompromising stance against president Bio’s led SLPP-government.

Reports also stated that Lamin Kargbo, was among youth in Makeni that resisted security forces on July 18, 2020 for the removal of a generator plant by the State for onward transfer to the Lungi International Airport. An action that was referred to by the State as rebellious.

The Makeni generator saga, left scores of youth injured and four dead. There was an open confrontation between youth and security forces that fired live bullets at protesting youth.

The August 10, 2022 deadly protest in Sierra Leone, also saw the death of six police officers, scores of civilians dead and many injured as government properties were set ablaze including police stations.

Government on the other hand described the protest as a coup d’état, and stated that the master minders and collaborators of such action will face severe consequences.

Makeni happens to be the stronghold of the opposition All People’s Congress (APC) party. The people of Makeni suffered fatal consequences since April 4, 2018 when President Julius Madda Bio took over the reins of governance.

A source at Police headquarters confided in Africa24 that Lamin Kargbo is a wanted person by the State as he was allegedly accused of playing active role in destabilizing the nation.
