Information gathered by this newspaper have revealed that Sheku Abu, a youth activist based in Kissy New Site in the east of Freetown, is now on the run fearing for the safety of his life after he was declared wanted by the Government on accusation that he had been involved in inciting youth, financing and supporting young men and women to take up arms and rise against the Government on 10 August, 2022 in which scores of Sierra Leoneans including six Police Officers were killed, hundreds others wounded, Police Stations and houses burnt down, and properties worth millions of New Leones looted and destroyed.
It could be recalled that on 10th of August 2022 citizens in the North and Western Part of Sierra Leone stormed the streets of Freetown, Makeni, and Lungi respectively demonstrating against the government for the hardship, high cost of living and the rapid inflation the country is facing.
Prior to August 10th Demonstration, there were messages on social media calling on all Sierra Leonean to sit at home on the 8th and 9th and took to the streets on the 10th October 2022 in order to demonstrate against the government and to inform the international community that they are tired with what is happening in the country.
The said demonstration on the 10th started peacefully as youths took to the streets holding placards and singing songs calling on the president to leave as they are tired of him. This continued for about four hours before police officers interrupted the process using live bullet and teargas cannisters to disperse the demonstrators. The situation went out of hands when two youths were shot and killed in the eastern part of Freetown in cold blood. This aggravated the situations leading to demonstrators setting ablaze vehicle tires on the road, mounting road blocks, challenging the police officer among others.
According to reliable sources, Sheku Abu was seen leading a group of demonstrators carrying the corps of 6 people to the Freetown morgue when they were attacked by armed police officers who wasted no time to open fire at them killing and arresting most of them who were taken to the Kissy Police Station.
Rumors of their arrests went viral, that lead to youths attacking the police station demanding the release of their brothers. Amidst the fighting at the station.
The Vice President of the Country wasted no time to declare curfew in the capital city and instructed the police to declare the perpetrators wanted.
The following day, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) released photos of alleged perpetrators to the police declaring them wanted. The IGP called on the general public to report the whereabouts of all those who masterminded the demonstration that led to the deaths of 6 police officers and 20 civilians.
