Big Fish incident, a lesson for Sierra Leoneans

Big Fish incident, a lesson for Sierra Leoneans By: Kembay Those always clamouring for War after seen yesterday random shooting on Charlotte and Lightfoot Boston Streets in Freetown by a desperado should now know such is just a tip of an ice bag in a warfare.  Big Fish after forcefully snatching, the riffle from the female police officer didn't go on looking out for APC or SLPP but was determine to shoot at anyone who dare stand his way irrespective of your political loyalty, Religious trait, tribal or Regional connection.  The few minutes he spent with the gun while moving up an down, saw almost all the streets in CBD deserted with everyone indoor except the security forces who were positioning themselves at intersections point to end the menace.  What caused the desertion and the indoor staying was that everyone knew that either by mistake or intention coming in contact with Big Fish at that moment, would have been your end.

Stay off Drugs, says IGP to FPU and Recruits

 




 
Stay off Drugs, says IGP to FPU and Recruits

By: Kembay

Sierra Leone Peacekeeping and Law Enforcement Academy (SILEA), Hastings Campus, Friday 18 November, 2022.

 Addressing both the Formed Police Unit (FPU) and the recruits, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr.William Fayia Sellu has placed emphasis on zero tolerance for drugs in the SLP. 


In a stern warning, the Chief Executive Officer of the SLP noted that, the day any of them is caught with drugs, that very day he or she will leave, there is no compromise to that.

Medically, drugs last in urine for two months, so the Police Chief therefore informed them that there is going to be a spontaneous drugs test.

To the FPU, he disclosed that while they await the final stage of assessment, they would be deployed in various areas within the city to help police the festive season. 




With medical underway, he reminded them that they still have not completed the requirements that would qualify them for the Peacekeeping mission. 


"You are 270 here and we need 160, which means, 110, have to be dropped" said IGP Sellu; stating that the festive season, special duties would also be used as an additional assessment to the medical. 

If they must go out there to represent the SLP, he said they must first prove their commitment and loyalty to the force during the one month special duties.


He urged them to take advantage of the special duties and not rely on influence, which, he said, will never work.

Sierra Leone, he said, is on record as a country that performs extremely well in Peacekeeping missions, reason being her experience in receiving the highest Peacekeepers during her crisis. 



"Today, our Individual Police Officers (IPOs,) and Formed Police Unit (FPU) stand out to be contingents that perform extremely well in Peacekeeping missions" he concluded.

To the recruits, the Police Chief asked that they stay strong, continue to be dedicated and committed to whatever they are taught. 

He cautioned them to take the training very serious as it involves weapons. 

"This is the time you need to concentrate and forget about all other things" he said.

The Police, according to IGP Sellu, has different rules and the first is the standing order at the training school.

"This school has its own regulations that you must comply with, we don't mix matters, when you are not fit, we take you out" he said, recalling that they all passed through same and therefore admonished them to respect their instructors.

At the completion of their training, he informed them that they would be passing out as Operational Support Division (OSD) Personnel which is the paramilitary wing of the SLP.

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead".

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead". If you recall, in the year 2022, Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a whistle-blower who exposed a phony degree, attracted the attention of every patriotic Sierra Leonean. His activity came to light after it was found that numerous Sierra Leoneans had received honorary PhDs from a Waterloo, Western Rural District postsecondary institution that was not accredited. Even well-known Sierra Leoneans, including the previous Inspector General of Police, were given honorary PhDs by the university known as Dominion University. When it was determined that the aforementioned university lacks the integrity to grant such a credential, the IG subsequently declined the offer. Dominion University PHD award ceremony From this point on, Dr. John Idriss Lahai began to expose Sierra Leoneans who, in his opinion, had earned questionable academic credentials. He then began to draw attention from people from all

A scammer from Sierra Leone has been captured by Guinean police.

  The person in the picture is actually Abdulai Jalloh, despite the fact that he is identified as a lecturer from Njala University under the name of Dr. Kanu. In early January of this year, he posted in a WhatsApp group in Kambia that he had scholarship chances and could help people acquire government pin codes, among other things, but that the offer was only valid for those from the South and east.   Someone sent him NLe1,500 for overseas study without realizing he was a scammer.  The scammer claimed that the entire application process for the scholarship cost 3,000 New Leone.  Later, the contacted person realized that he was not who he had been representing himself to be, and he immediately blocked the victim of his syndicate.  He once more perpetrated the same crime against Molai, another individual, and someone else.  In the pretense of an international scholarship, he demanded 3000 New Leones from each person. He accepted the cash and fled without telling them where he was.  The m
