The Sierra Leone Police have initiated an investigation into a video circulating on social media, featuring Abdul Kadiru Kai Kai making alarming statements about instigating a war if he does not become president in 2028.

Ar well prepia foram, ar well borjet for ram…for bring war ya, na abot 3.3 million dollars for stat na Masheka…”
This statement translates to: “If I do not become president of Sierra Leone in 2028, I will mastermind and bring a big war in Sierra Leone, far worse than anybody is expecting. I am well prepared and had even budgeted for it. To bring war in Sierra Leone, one only needs 3.3 million United States Dollars to start at Masiaka.”
In light of the gravity of these remarks, the Sierra Leone Police, through the Criminal Investigations Department, have arrested Abdul Kadiru Kai Kai and commenced a thorough investigation.
“The investigation seeks to ascertain the veracity of the statement and the intent and motive of the maker,” the SLP stated. “The public will, in due course, be informed of the outcome of the investigation.”
The police have assured citizens of their safety and security, encouraging them to continue with their daily activities without fear.
“Members of the general public are encouraged to go about their normal business as their safety and security is assured at all times,” they added.
