Certain obnoxious and unknown people in the diaspora are instigating citizens back home to stage a nationwide demonstration on the 8th of August, 2022. Though social media bloggers are flooding the space with such bogus ranting; the reason for the said demonstration is unclear to many.
The Sierra Leone Police who are charged with the responsibility to protect lives and properties has confirmed that they have not received any letter of permit to stage a demonstration from any organization or individual.
ACP Brima Kamara, the police media boss said they are paying no credence to such an untrue statement. He said the police are in readiness for any uproar which is part of their daily duties.
ACP Kamara urged all Sierra Leoneans not to countenance such plans and went on to assure all and sundry that everything is under control. It should be noted that citizens have the right to stage demonstrations if they feel aggrieved or dissatisfied with a certain regime, but it is also the norm that the police should give clearance to the individual (s) or organization that wish to take such ventures. Therefore, if there is no clearance from the Sierra Leone Police there would be no demonstration and all are urged to go about their normal daily activities
