Sierra Leone: Over Alleged Sex Scandal, Police Recalls Two From Darfur

By Alusine Sesay and Memunatu Bangura, 12 June 2012

Head of police media, Ibrahim Samura, has disclosed to Concord Times that the Sierra Leone Police has recalled two of its men from operations in Darfur, Sudan for allegedly engaging in a sexual scandal.

Though the head of police media refused to mention the names of the officers involved, the two were reportedly exposed in a widely circulated video clip in which they engaged in wild sex.

"I will not disclose their names because the issue is currently under investigation," Samura said adding that the two are currently helping the police in their investigations.

"The police will take punitive action against the accused if found wanting," he noted stressing that they may be relieved of their duties if found wanting.

Meanwhile, some police officers have expressed disappointment at the alleged act referring to it as indecent and one that has the tendency to pull down the credibility of the Sierra Leone police in foreign operations.

    I would not be surprised if PCO Chief Police Congo Cross Police Station Fodie Daboh was part of it.I have been a witness to a sexual assault and attempted rape committed by Fodie Daboh himselfback in September 2005 at the German NGO German Technichal Corporation (GTZ) Freetown in Frazer Street off Wilkinson Road.I wonder when his hour of judgement will come.I know he's very popular among Sierra Leone but he is nothing but a wolf in sheep coat.
