Under the despotic Bio’s regime, granting bail is a pick-and-choose format, not in accordance with the law. In fact, the erosion of democratic values has worsened under the dictator Maada Bio since April 4, 2018, when Maada Bio mistakenly and horrendously took power from Ernest Koroma through very dubious political chicanery.

Zainab Sheriff is not the only one refused bail. Social media gladiators Mr Mohamed Moriba, Mr Mombassa, Mr Nice, aka Mr Red, have all been refused bail many times. The deception and subterfuge that followed the installation of Bio in 2018, despite losing the elections that year, will go down in history as the worst political surrender of democracy to an unfit Bio, using ‘Regime Change’ to blame foreign countries.

Democracy became a dead horse on a very sad day in 2018 when every fundamental human right of Sierra Leoneans was buried in the ashcan of history. Today, many prominent social media bloggers and critical political supporters are no longer safe under tyrant Bio.

The latest victim of the illegal President Maada Bio’s undemocratic terrorism is the popular musician and artist Madam Zainab Sheriff, who is presently detained in prison for simply expressing her thoughts about the current terrible political atmosphere suffocating the people of Sierra Leone.

Recently, Madam Zainab Sheriff was arrested while she was exercising in a gym in Freetown. What was her crime? Her only crime, according to the horrible SLPP police, is incitement because she criticised the June 24, 2023, elections during the APC meeting at the Attouga Stadium in Freetown. Everyone knows that Bio stole the 2023 polls in broad daylight.

Zainab Sheriff blasted that anyone who steals elections should be arrested, detained, and, if possible, killed. She added that the family members of the electoral thieves should also face the same fate. That was her only crime that forced the brutal Bio police to pounce, as it did not go down well with the barbarians in the SLPP party. (Photo: ACP Joan Bull, police lawyer working for Fatima Bio).

On Wednesday, Zainab Sheriff was arraigned before the stinking, corrupt SLPP Judge Brima Jah, who, after taking orders from above, refused to grant bail to Zainab Sheriff. She was eventually taken back to prison until March 11, 2026, amid disappointment, and curses rang out from loved ones, supporters, and friends.

Sources say it was the illegal First Lady, Fatima Jabbe Bio, who is behind the arrest and incarceration of Zainab Sheriff for personal reasons. There is one female police lawyer, ACP Joan MS Bull, who works for Fatima Bio and was seen with Zainab Sheriff in court. What was she doing there?

Meanwhile, social media giants Mr Mohamed Moriba, Mr Mombassa and Mr Red, aka Mr Nice, are still languishing behind bars for no justifiable reason. Their only crime is preaching for electoral justice and condemning the fraudulent June 24, 2023, elections stolen by Bio. The trio have been refused bail many times. Democracy is destroyed under Maada Bio.
