SOS for Mayor Herbert George Williams!
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of a great country known as Freetown City Council has been reported missing in action early this year.
According to information captured by the powerful beam of the Searching Man, General Herbert George Williams, also known as Herbert the Lover Boy, Herbert the Spoiler, Herbert the Beloved, Herbert the Merry Man, Herbert the Fixer, this fearless warrior was last seen brandishing a sharp double bladed machete, doing agile warrior dances and leading a large crowd of Matorma dancers heading towards the premises of the Green People.
“I am aware that Herbert the Beloved, a Red Man, single handedly entered the inner sanctum of the Green People where he engaged over a fifty dreaded Kamajors in a battle that lasted for over five hours. At the end of this great battle in which he is reported to have wreaked massive destruction on the Kamajors, the Beloved Mayor is reported to have been captured and taken to an unknown hideout where it is believed the Kamajor High Priest is carrying out extensive studies on him to discover the source of his strength and fighting skills. I am also aware that the good Herbert has been disconnected from the outside world so that the Kamajor High Priest can properly conduct his tests on him,” a Close Protection Officer, Captain Wai Sai, who was attached to the good old Herbert explained to the Searching Man.
As we were going to press a die hard Red Fellow, a Herbert beneficiary, quipped that he was sure he glimpsed the good old Mayor in war mood entering his War Parlour at Wallace Johnson Street in Freetown.
“You must be hallucinating because what or who you saw was definitely not Herbert the Beloved. The man is safe with us. We will soon release him to face the Anti Corruption Commission and explain how he had been spending the Freetown City Council money which has now resulted in virtually wrecking the place,” a Green Man countered.
As drug abuse engulfs nation, where is Kandeh Bangura?
The good old Searching Man is acutely aware that a lot of good folks are constantly debating that either good old Kandeh Bangura has died long ago or he is out of the country or he is in his village up country raising plants and animals and drinking palm wine.
Well, folks will be surprised to learn that Hemor Kandeh Bangura is right inside the historic ancient city of Freetown heading the outfit charged with the responsibility of coming up with ideas on how to combat the high rate of drug abuse that has now become commonplace in the country.
Now folks will be shocked to learn also that in all the many years that this outfit has existed (actually created by former President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah to give poor Kandeh somewhere to eat), it has not done anything remarkable to address the drug abuse problem in the country.
Perhaps the only achievement that Kandeh Bangura and his group can boast of is for him to be riding in a jeep all day, sit in a plush office, eat a lot of lunch and make unrealistic reports at the end of each year to justify their existence.
When last did you see or hear Kandeh Bangura and his people in a campaign even talking about drug abuse problem in the country? The Searching Man will want you to tell him and please be honest.
Stop press! Minkailu Bah, Dennis Sandy and Ogunlade Davidson agree to vacate Fourah Bay College quarters.
