It has emerged last night that the eldest son of the late Village Chief of Senekedugu village in the Wara Wara Yagala Chiefdom, Koinadugu district Alie Marah has been missing for the past couple of days now.
Alie got missing after he was declared wanted by elders of the secret society in the village after he failed to abide by their decision to inherit the Chieftaincy of his late father Chief Lansana Marah who died on August 25th 2019 following a sudden illness.
Investigation revealed that after the death of the late Town Chief, Alie was invited to take over the Chieftaincy on the condition that he must sacrifice his manhood during the initiation ceremony.
The source said Alie was invited to the society bush to perform the first part of the ceremony.
On the 1st September, 2019. A senior member of the society, Alfred Peter told this medium that a group of secret society members stormed Alie Marah’s house ordering him to follow them to the bush but he refused on the grounds that he was not interested due to the condition. When Alie told his wife about this latest development, the lady refused on the grounds that they have just wedded one month ago without a child. The wife insisted that if her husband accepts that condition, they will no longer have children which will definitely affect the relationship.
Peter said when Alie Marah refused he was dragged out of the house and seriously manhandled to be point that he became unconscious.
Alie was rushed to a nearby Pharmacy and given first aid treatment. Because of the sensitive nature of the matter, the Nurse at the Pharmacy Sister Fatmata Mansaray insisted that Alie should not stay in the place.
Since that time members of the secret society have been coming regularly in search of Alie. This latest development prompted Mr. Alie and his wife to escape to an unknown destination.
Family members are worried about the whereabout of their son who they say has been assisting them greatly over the years.
