The day he disappeared, a friend of
Francis told this medium that Francis had a confrontation with members of the
Poro society, a feared cult in Sierra Leone. For one reason or the other, he
said Francis was to be forcefully initiated into this cult and was bundled into
a waiting car. Francis’ friend said he was forcefully taken away by these
unknown men to an unknown destination.
Francis Kamara’s friend said he has
enquired about the whereabouts of his friend but to no avail; but a business
partner of Francis’s father, one Mr. Frank, said the Poro members would
continue to look for Francis until they kill him.
His friend said the police have not been
helpful in investigating the
whereabouts of Francis, adding that the police do not do much in matters that
have to do with the feared and very powerful Poro society.
This medium has tried to contact Francis
Kamara’s family for more information but has been told by neighbours that
members of his family might have gone into hiding for fear of being attacked by
Poro members.
When it comes to the Poro society,
people in this country don’t talk much for fear of reprisals from members, some
of whom hold important positions.
