The Secretary General of SLPP has said in a statement on Monday that “the Secretariat and Executive of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) have listened to an audio published on Friday, March 18,2022 from overseas by a notorious person using the nomenclature of ‘Adebayor’ and in which direct death threats are made to kill Her Excellency First Lady Mrs. Fatima Maada Bio.”
Umaru Napoleon Koroma said that the SLPP has restrained itself from giving relevance to threats of this Adebayor miscreant over the years, but they believe this latest threat against the life of the country’s venerable First Lady, is also a threat on the well-being of her husband who is our Leader and President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Julius Maada Bio.
“Any threat against the First Family should be treated with the seriousness and urgency it deserves.”
The Secretary General calls on the Security Forces to thoroughly investigate the audio. “We further urge the relevant authorities to activate international collaboration in enforcing the recently enacted Cyber Security and Crime Act, which gives cross-border powers to legally handle such threats delivered through social media,” Napoleon Koroma said.
The Secfretary General said, “The SLPP will also explore all diplomatic and other means to bring Adebayor the culprit to face the full penalty of the law – locally and internationally”.
Meanwhile, the party appeals to their supporters to remain peaceful and law abiding. “We admonish them to continue with messages about the development strides of this Government and this President for an emphatic victory in next year’s Elections. It is that resounding victory which they have sensed that has thrown Adebayor and his supportive ilk into the criminal madness of making Death Threats against our venerable First Lady. Such Death Threats will not be tolerated.”
