Today in Falaba District, a young girl was caught at one of the registration centers by the robust and vigilant SLPP monitors, carrying a fake birth certificate which makes her eligible to vote in next year's elections, as the forged document makes her 18 years old by April 2023.
When interrogated, the young girl said she is the daughter of a Mr. Mohamed Turay, the former principal of the Falaba Secondary School who had resigned his job to vie for the APC symbol in Constituency 040. She further disclosed the forged birth certificate, which was issued at the Wellington Community Center in Freetown, was given to her by her mother today 4th September 2022.
The SLPP monitors did not allow the girl to be registered and have handed her over to the police while they have gone in search of the mother and father who have gone into hiding on hearing the news of the arrest of their daughter.
