18 year old Sarah Samking,who resides in Moriba Town, Imperi Chiefdom, Bonthe District has over the weekend admitted that the Local Unit Commander of the Rutile Division, Superintendent Mustapha Alhaji Senesie was framed by her father and one Councilor Edmond M Kabaingai of ward 326, Imperi Chiefdom, Bonthe District
Her admission comes in the wake of an ongoing police investigation at the Regional Department of the Family Support Unit in Bo where the said Councilor, Edmond M. Kabaingai and Sarah’s father conspired against the LUC by making a formal report at the Rutile Police Division that the said LUC Supt. Mustapha Alhaji Senesie sexually penetrated a 16 year old girl.
Sarah Samking further revealed that her Father, Sam Samking and Councilor Edmond M. Kabaingai forged her birth certificate using the false name, Amie Samking projecting her age as a minor (16 years) which she later rejected and the said birth certificate was again changed at the Moriba Town Peripheral Health Unit by a Deputy CHO, Christiana John, to now appear as Sarah Samking with the same age outlook (16 years.( Audio available).
Evidence adduced proved that notwithstanding these inherent anomalies, Councilor Edmond M. Kabaingai presented the birth certificate and another fictitious School Report card bearing the Name, Sarah Samking and age,16.
The birth certificate which appeared to be forged, however proved that it was printed in 2015 yet issued in 2009 by the Deputy CHO Christiana John,an allegation the hospital management vehemently denied stating that the signature of the said fictitious Birth Certificate was forged and was as well not issued by the Moriba Town PHU.
Sarah Samking admitted in a conversation that she is above 18 years and her boyfriend, an OSD officer named John Arthur Jusu has been arrested and brought over to the Bo West Police Station for allegedly having an affair with an under age.
She said her OSD boyfriend is fully recognized by her family adding that the OSD boyfriend had traditionally informed her relatives about their relationship which her family accepted and they have been moving on well save his arrest and detention and appealed that her boyfriend be released unconditionally remarking that “e nor do natin” ( he did nothing).(Audio available upon request).
The school report card from TVSS also showed lots of anomalies.
Regional Coordinator, Family Support Unit in Bo,ASP Kanneh confirmed that OSD Officer, John Arthur Jusu is being investigated for allegedly having a sexual affinity with an under age.
He also confirmed that they have commenced investigation into the initial report made by Councilor Edmond M Kabaingai, Pastor Rogera and Sarah’s father over alleged case of sexual penetration of a 16 year old by the Local Unit Commander, Supt. Mustapha Alhaji Senesie.
LUC Rutile Division Superintendent Mustapha Alhaji Senesie denied the allegations and affirmed that his relationship with the said Councilor Edmond M. Kabaingai became strained over the said Councilor being one of the major masterminds for unrest around the Rutile company sites and an assault on a local chief and an Imam which is still under investigation at the Rutile Division.
Incessant efforts to contact Councilor Edmond M. Kabaingai to respond to the allegations before and after these revelations proved futile, despite being a member of all Whatsapp groups where Sarah’s admission was shared hence having constructive and actual knowledge of same.
It’s alleged that the LUC’s high-handedness in tackling crimes and clampdown on some accepted illegal activities in the Rutile axis is among the major causes for this conspiracy hence Councilor Edmond M. Kabaingai in a widely shared audio said LUC Supt. Mustapha Alhaji Senesie MUST GO(audio available upon request).
Sources say, LUC Supt Mustapha Alhaji Senesie is among the third Local Unit Commanders that have been framed by certain cabal in Moriba Town. They alleged that it’s now a pattern in Moriba Town no sooner the Cabal dislikes the Public Officers, they resort to surreptitious means to defame that individual.
Records show that considerable number of convicts who have served their jail terms or are serving their respective jail terms for sexual offences insists being framed by mostly relatives of the purported victims.
The Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2019 makes provision for the increase of the maximum penalty for rape and sexual penetration of a child from fifteen years up life imprisonment.
Section 19 of the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 2019 provides ” subject to Section 24 of the Children and Young Persons Act (Cap 44), a person who engages in an act of sexual penetration with a child commits an offence and is liable on conviction to life imprisonment”
Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2012 provides” In this Act unless the context otherwise requires, “Child” means a person under the age of 18.”
