Murderers Bliss Presidential Clemency!

It has reached this press that the recent granting of Presidential pardon to ritual murderers seemed not go down well with the public.

Survey conducted indicates that government, in the previous years, has had unrestrained granting of state clemency to notorious criminals.

It is a fact, though, those two killers, Michael Josiah and Mustapha Bojon April 27th marched through the gates of the Sierra Leone Central Maximum Prison in the enjoyment of Presidential clemency.

The two, we are told, were alongside four others convicted at the high court for ritually murdering one George Squire of Ngalehun Village in the Bo district.

It is stated nevertheless that Michael Josiah and Mustapha Bojon acted as principal in the first degree in the killing of George.

“George was ruthlessly killed by Michael and Mustapha in bushes around Ngalehun Village, some of his body parts were removed and was later dragged to a nearby female society bush and abandoned,” a source from Ngalehun Village said.

It could be recalled that in 2009, a notorious killer, Foday Kallay, who was serving sixty years imprisonment was granted Presidential pardon and made to walk as free man in streets of Sierra Leone.

Foday was in command of Westside rebel in Sierra Leone.

He was also among persons captured by the British as war prisoners.

Facts have it that Foday was notorious for uninformed killing of civilians as well as combatants under his purview.

He was the brain behind the kidnapping of number of British soldiers at areas, on one occasion, occupied his rebel movement ‘the Westside Boys’.

Sources say government’s chronological granting of clemencies to murderers and former rebels seemed irritate minds of good number of Sierra Leoneans.

It is told to this press that residents of Ngalehun Village cry foul over Presidential pardon granted two contract killers Michael and Mustapha.

According to our correspondent in Bo, it is revealed that news about the release of Ngalehun Village murderers baffles all.

Unconfirmed information states that the frequent and sequential granting of Presidential clemency to notorious and core criminals seemed coupled with corruption overindulgences of officials assign to such duties.
