A Nine (9) year old girl Bamba Sokiti is reported to have narrowly escaped death in the hands of alleged kidnappers or cannibals in Koidu city – Kono District. Talking to this medium, the nine year old girl said in the early hours of Saturday 22nd May 2021, an unknown woman and a bike rider captured her along the Jama Mosque, Gbense Market area in Koidu City and rode with her to an unknown destination in a bush with her face tied up.
The girl pointed out that whilst in the bush, the alleged kidnappers or cannibals placed her in a cycle with both her face and hands tied up noting that those around her were performing incantation in Kono language which she clearly heard but did not understand as she doesn’t speak Kono dialect.
Bamba Sokiti further maintained that when the alleged kidnappers or cannibals were done with the ceremony on her, another unknown motorbike took her to the Motema police station where she realised herself later.
The grandmother and caretaker of the Nine year old girl told our reporter that the sudden disappearance of her granddaughter came to light when she left where she normally trades as everyone present at their home denied knowledge of knowing the girl’s where about.
The grandmother noted that in search of her granddaughter one of her relations Sia Fanta went for prayers to a pastor and later reported the missing matter at the Tankoro Police Divisional headquarters for police investigation but was later surprised to locate the girl in Nimikoro Chiefdom, Kono District in an unstable condition.
Madam Sia Fanta has therefore called on parents to be very careful the way they bring up their children as the days are evil today. Meanwhile, the nine year old girl is reportedly responding to both spiritual and medical treatments at her residence in Koidu city as Police investigation into the matter continues.
