Disgracefully, Sierra Leone, under the failed and illegitimate president Julius Maada Bio, has overtaken other dangerous narcotic nations to assume the role of the hub of transhipment of illicit drugs in West Africa and beyond. (Photo: Ghana welcomes US drug officials led by Mr Andrew McDonald).

In this vein, Sierra Leone authorities have deliberately refused to cooperate with the international community to curb the cocaine trade, as is being done in neighbouring Liberia and Ghana, where the two governments are 100% ready to eliminate the danger.

Unlike Liberia and Ghana, where many top-level arrests have been made, Sierra Leone under the illegal Bio regime has bluntly ignored the call for top-level arrests of key cocaine suspects to be made. They cannot execute arrests when the Bio regime is surviving on drugs. (Photos: US officials in Ghana).

Presently, the entire Maada Bio’s SLPP administration is being financed by drug networks propelled by his son-in-law Jos Leijdekker, who is Europe’s most wanted drug fugitive based in Sierra Leone under government protection.

Despite continuous calls by the Netherlands government for Sierra Leone to extradite Bolle Jos, the Bio regime has failed to cooperate with the Dutch authorities by giving the flimsy excuse that Bolle Jos, also known as Omar Sheriff, does not stay in Sierra Leone.

This big lie has further damaged the little reputation remaining for Sierra Leone. And worse, the lack of international cooperation to curb the drug networks has pushed the Bio regime deeper into more isolation. This is happening amid the June 24, 2023 election thievery.

In Liberia and Ghana, the two governments have shown seriousness by cooperating with the FBI and other drug agencies around the world to eliminate the dangers of drugs emanating from Sierra Leone, the source of the drug pandemic in West Africa.

Besides Maada Bio, there is no other individual more confused, irritated, disgruntled, or jittery than Maada Bio’s son-in-law Joseph Leujdekker, aka Chubby Jos, who has 124 years’ prison sentences hanging over his cocaine head for murders, money laundering and drug trafficking.

Today, the world’s nations are vigilant in seizing drug ships on international waters originating from Sierra Leone. From Spain and Germany to Australia and so on, ships carrying tons of drug consignments have been seized, all pointing accusing fingers at Bio’s Sierra Leone. (Photo: FBI and others in Liberia).

As a result, Bolle Jos’ finances have plummeted in recent months following the seizure of cocaine ships. The resolve of the international community to ameliorate the political and electoral impasse and electoral thievery in Sierra Leone cannot be underestimated.

The fact that Ghana and Liberia are cooperating with the FBI agents indicates that these two nations are not guilty. Bio regime does not want the FBI in Sierra Leone to investigate. It shows that Bio is guilty of drug production, distribution, and sale of illicit drugs.

Only the guilty are afraid, indeed. The only solution is the removal of Bio and the restoration of democracy, i.e. the swearing-in of the president-elect, Dr Samura Kamara. Sierra Leoneans are waiting patiently for the transfer of power to happen anytime from now.

Meanwhile, the United States Director of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs at the State Department, Mr Andrew McDonald, visited the Ghana Narcotics Control Commission in global efforts to curb the dangers of the narcotics trade.
