As we went to press last night, credible reports has disclosed to this medium that ‘Poro’ stakeholders are desperately in search of one Osman Coach Kargbo for his refusal to replace his deceased father as heir apparent to the throne as tradition demands.
According to our sources, whenever the substantive head of the ‘Poro’ society passes on; the eldest son eventually becomes the ultimate successor based on traditional laws.
However, this medium gathered that Osman Coach Kargbo, was unsuspectingly conscripted by ‘Poro’ stakeholders immediately after the funeral rites of his deceased father.
Sources went on that he was taken to ‘Poro’ shrine in order to undergo the rigorous ritual process to succeeding his deceased father.
During the course of our investigations, we discovered that Osman Coach Kargbo was able to found out the horrible and despicable nature ‘Poro’ members execute against initiates.
This according to our credible report led Osman to reject the idea of replacing his deceased father.
According to our in-depth investigation, it is revealed to this medium that Osman was unable to withstand the sight were human being drink blood, eating of human body parts and other inhuman acts.
Report added that, due to these detestable and inhuman acts, Osman had to escape to an undisclosed location.
Intelligent report monitored by this medium disclosed that ‘Poro’ stakeholders became angry by Osman’s miraculous escape fearing that he has the potential to expose their inner secret within their shrine.
They considered Osman’s action as disrespectful and taboo for having the audacity to not only reject the idea of succeeding his deceased father; but to unceremoniously escape from their shrine.
Verified report can authoritatively confirm that unknown assailants have been hired to eliminate Osman wherever they could find him.
Osman’s life is said to be in severe danger as this medium also confirmed ‘Poro’ stakeholders have vowed at nothing, but to kill Osman if he dares resurfaces from his hideout.
On the other hand government of Sierra Leone does not meddle into secret society affairs and Osman may have no protection.
However, there have been several appeals and advocacy by human rights based activists for government to intervene into the activities of secret societies.
Despite clarion calls by advocacy groups in order for government to see reason and call on these secret societies to desist from such evil acts it has been a fruitless endeavor as no action has been taken.
