Two days to controversial Commissions of inquiry, riot police march through streets of Makeni

By Alpha Kamara

Riot police marched through the streets of the Northern city Makeni today in show of strength.

 

It comes a day before the start of hearings of the commission of Inquiry set up to investigate activities of the past government.

Some Makeni residents I spoke to refer to the police  action as intimidation. But a senior police officer  in the region says it’s just a normal security readiness.

 

Makeni is a strong hold of the opposition APC party which has issued a statement that they will not comply with the commission due to constitutional illegalities.
