Police in Makeni City, Bombali District in an offence led by AIG Monfred Williams have been allegedly accused of harassing and humiliating a former United Nations (UN) Diplomat and Philanthropist, Dr. Roland Turay.

This was confirmed in letter the accused wrote to the Office of National Security (ONS)’s District Coordinator, Josephine Miatta Saffa.

According to reports by the sources, Dr Roland had requested the ONS boss to retract a statement she had earlier made in certain quarters against his person that, he (Dr Roland Turay) is “Destroying the image of Bombali District”.

In his letter, the former UN Diplomat explained that by making that statement, Madam Josephine has put “his life at risk”.

In reaction after receipt of the letter, Madam Saffa, allegedly, with some members of the District Security Committee (DISEC), of which AIG Monfred Williams is also a member, took the letter to the Mena Police and officially reported Dr Roland.

Dr Roland was invited later to the police station and upon his arrival he was arrested and detained in a police cell.

On the following day, it was alleged that the former UN diplomat was whisked off to the CID Headquarters in Freetown where he was also incarcerated for another four days.

In Freetown reports say, the Philanthropist was released after the CID officers after thorough investigations found out that, there was no evidence to corroborate the statement of the ONS District Boss of any “Cyber stocking and bullying”.

When contacted at his Mena Hills office yesterday, AIG Monfred Williams denied any claims of bullying Dr Roland.

He said he received an order from ONS Headquarters in Freetown to investigate only a cyber crime and that was what he did.
