How Peaceful Residents Of Makeni Miss ASP Gbanya

By Richmond B Trolley

Peaceful citizens of the Northern city of Makeni have honored the late Assistant Superintendent of Police Mathew Moiwah Gbanya—the Northeast area OSD Co-ordinator—as a hero who battled for the welfare of society one week after his cruel murder. 



On the evening of April 7, 2023, near Station Road in Makeni, ASP Gbanya, better known by his stage name Boyka, was brutally and cold-bloodedly murdered.

Even outside of the country, the brave and noble officer's death generated a heated debate.

Residents of the Northeast region, particularly those in Makeni City, have been able to go to bed without worry for their lives and property ever since his deployment. There were alarmingly high levels of theft and armed criminal activity in the city and the surrounding area prior to his deployment as the OSD Coordinator.

However, there was a continuous drop in crime rates after he took office. 

"ASP Gbanya manages the situation expertly at all times. Some of us will miss him, according to Adama Kamara of Makeni, who spoke with SL News Blog.

According to an unnamed local, the majority of those who disagree with the dead officer's story are those with a history of committing crimes.

Another local, Mohamed Sesay, claimed that "Officer Boyka reduces the reckless and rampant taking of Kush among young people in Makeni."

Although many claim that the late officer was haughty and cruel in the course of carrying out his official duties, others believe he was the ideal candidate to combat the area's lawlessness. 

Residents are requesting a prompt investigation into his death as a result.

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
