Foul Play: Who Murdered Prominent Medical Doctor Adrian Hanciles, Found Dead in Freetown After Being Kidnapped for One Week? Bio’s Regime Not Clean
Quick Summary
This kidnap ended fatally. Sierra Leone is now a killing field under Julius Maada Bio’s illegal regime. Accusing fingers are now pointing to the violent SLPP/Paopa brutes.
Human life has meant nothing since 2018, when Bio’s SLPP party took power, and got worse since 2023. Over 5000 innocent Sierra Leoneans have been killed by agents of the Bio regime, covertly and overtly, from Pademba Prison to Makeni, Lunsar, Tombo, Thonko Limba, around Freetown, etc. (Photo: Late Dr Adrian Hanciles, RIP).
The latest victim of Maada Bio’s bloody reign is the popular medical doctor Adrian Hanciles, a much-loved man who will surely be missed by those who knew him and his numerous patients. Foul play has not been ruled out, considering the circumstances of his untimely death. Reports say he was kidnapped, not missing.
Murder is the obvious crime that could have happened last week when Dr Adrian Hanciles’ corpse was found in Freetown. Alarms were raised when Dr Hanciles went missing (kidnapped), which is very unusual for a man of that stature. Family members say it was not in his character. (Photo: Dr Hanciles, RIP).

Who does the public suspect? Sources have hinted that Dr Hanciles was a decent, honest citizen, not associated with any politics that undermine the development of the nation. Who could have kidnapped and killed him? Was his death linked to his medical profession or politics, or drug matters? It remains to be seen.
When Dr Adrian Hanciles went missing on September 3, 2026, social media forums became awash with messages of appeals from family members, close friends, and medical colleagues for any information leading to his whereabouts, but to no avail. Many public notices read as follows.
The missing person’s appeal was circulated to anyone who may have seen Dr Hanciles or has credible information about his location to come forward. They can be reached at +232 88 470876. The notice carried a logo and picture of Dr Hanciles for identification. (Photo: Dr Hanciles, RIP).

A few days later, the body of Dr Adrian Hanciles was found. Sierra Leone is a dog-eat-dog system where life has no value. Murdered people do not get any justice in Sierra Leone today thanks to Bio’s barbarism. Nothing justifiable is expected to come out of it, as justice is a dead commodity in the country.
After one week of searching, the family was informed that an unidentified body was being held at the police mortuary in Kingtom. The body was recovered and remained unidentified in police custody for a while, but eventually the body was identified as Dr Adrian Hanciles.
News of his death brought the search to a tragic end, leaving the family and colleagues in the medical community in complete shock. Dr Hanciles was last seen at 8:30 am on September 3 near St. Mary’s Supermarket at Hill Cot Junction wearing a brown shirt and trousers.

They say authorities are investigating how Dr Hanciles died and how his corpse was recovered. The Kamajor police have asked the public not to speculate until the police or family provide verified details concerning Dr Hanciles’s mysterious death.
Meanwhile, the Sierra Leone Medical and Dental Association SLMDA, in a press statement on September 10, 2026, condemned the publication of graphic photos showing the corpse of Dr Hanciles, dubbing it unethical, disrespectful, and a violation of his dignity.
SLMDA has urged the public to refrain from sharing, reposting or forwarding the photographs; otherwise, it would distress Dr Hanciles’ grieving family. The association will continue to support the family during this period of mourning. Investigations continue.
