This medium was reliably informed that the life of one Tamba Swaray is currently hanging on the balance after he was caught red-handed by his father having a sexual affair with his gay partner in the father’s house in March 2017.
Whiles speaking to this Press, in a very embarrassed mood, the father of Tamba Swaray by the name of Pa Tamba Swaray, who also happens to be the Chief Imam of the Community Mosque, he highlighted that he cannot cope with the emotional impact of the scandal of his son’s involvement in a same sex relationship.
With tears in his eyes, the popular Chief Imam continued by noting that the whole issue has put him in a very funny and embarrassing situation which has reduced him to always shedding tears.
“Allah does not create gay people, it’s a path they have chosen, and that is an incorrect path according to our faith and tradition,” he says.
Pa Tamba Swaray further explained that when he made the discovery he wanted to immediately burn and kill his son Tamba Swaray in the room emphasising that the Holy Quran is against such an abominable act and that the Government of Sierra Leone is totally against gay practice in the country.
He maintained that as a Chief Imam for his son to be involved in such an act is so shameful to an extent that the son deserves to be killed as he is not fit to live.
The father further intimated our reporter that since his son left home on that very fateful day he is nowhere to be found adding that the Police have also signed a warrant of arrest for him.
During Police investigation, Isata Sesay, one of Tamba Swaray’s late mother’s best friend said the last time she set eyes on Tamba was when he went to her place to explain the awkward incident that has occurred between himself and his father.
Isata Sesay blamed bad friends for persuading Tamba to become a homosexual. She also revealed that the father of Tamba Swaray has disowned him till death while the Police are still searching for him to face the law of the land.
In this part of the world, homosexuality and lesbianism have no place in society. They are frowned upon and considered to be counter religious. There are past accounts of individuals who were caught perpetrating being lynched to death.
What will befall Tamba Swaray whenever he is seen could be anybody’s guess but for now his life is in a precarious situation.
