Kailahun was a war zone last week during campaign for the forthcoming Constituency 010 Parliamentary bye-elections , as the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP) candidate , Madam Zainab Kama Brima took armed soldiers and thugs to Banbaru Village, Penguia Chiefdom to attack and burn the homes of perceived supporters of her opponents The All People’s Congress ( APC ) and independent candidates. Video footages showed women, men and children with their belongings on their heads escaping into the forest. According to the women who were weeping and screaming in agony on the footages, the armed soldiers and thugs came and brutalized and terrorized them, burning their houses and forcing them to flee , in the process killing a young man, whose name was given as Foday Morie, who was beaten to death. A pathetic video footage saw a female relative crying over his blood-stained body.
