Which beggars the following questions. Is the captured wanted man Amadu Makalo Koita alive? The question as to whether Koita is hale and hearty is timely and significant in that there is no proof so far from the violent-oriented and illegal Maada Bio presidency to prove that Mr Amadu Koita is alive and kicking. Considering the hatred and bad heart in the SLPP colony against critical social media activists inside and outside Sierra Leone, one wonders the fury the bloody Bio soldiers and police would have felt to finally see Koita face to face. Koita is the highest-profile man on the SLPP wanted list, most of whom have been murdered in cold blood. (Photo: Koita).

Lightening thunder would have cracked in the heavens before you say ‘Jesus is Lord’ in such a tense scenario meeting Koita. With overwhelming hatred for Koita, the soldiers’ large intestines would have boiled inside out to automatically empty a bullet or two into Koita’s body without thinking twice. And taking into consideration how Idrissa Kamara aka Leather Boot was instantly shot to death with a silencer in public, there is every reason that these Bio brutes would have done the same to Koita at first glance. Unless of course, the Bio presidency proves otherwise by displaying Koita live on television to shame the doubters wrong. (Photo: Koita and the policewoman).

Anything short of showing Koita to the world on television would only spur more speculations as to whether Koita is already dead or alive. Since his purported arrest and interrogation at the Criminal Investigations Department CID in Freetown, there are no new pictures of Koita shown to prove that he is still alive. All the photos released thus far are old pictures of him and his ex-wife. Why are the old photos of Mr Koita released to the public on social media instead of any new pictures taken when he was arrested on Monday night? Where are the new pictures? The people of Sierra Leone and the international community want to see Koita alive on television.

The odd development has brought in more questions than answers as to the whereabouts of social media activist Koita. After all, he is a Sierra Leonean who has every right to visit his country, especially after the SLPP and APC have signed a peace dialogue to allow citizens abroad to visit without hindrance. Two salient facts have emerged from this scenario. First, it is likely, that Koita has been beaten badly and is still hale and hearty but the SLPP regime has deliberately decided to use old pictures to put the public off-track. Second, the possibility that Koita is not alive is growing by the hour because many observers think Koita was killed by Bio’s thugs immediately after he was found in the underground hiding place, where the deceptive Bio illegal regime has claimed to have found Koita. (Photo: Koita, a picture believed to be an old photo).

Yesterday, the illegitimate Information Minister Chernor Bah gave a scanty account of Koita’s arrest. The fake Minister Bah was more concerned about publicity praise for the bravery of their Kamajor security personnel rather than showing proof that Koita was alive. The fake Minister Bah’s comment raised concerns when he said: “Nobody was hurt or killed when Koita was arrested.” But the picture they claimed to have come from the CID showed Koita’s right eye blackened, signs of serious beatings which goes against his human rights as a captive. Koita’s family members and friends alike are demanding to see him alive on national television or to display pictures or videos of Koita at the time of his arrest in Freetown on Monday night.
