Williams
was arrested because he fought somebody whilst visiting a friend at the Mount
Aureol Community in Freetown. According to reports, Williams fought because he
was teased for being gay; and it is not the first time he has been engaged in
fighting as he is sometimes abused or assaulted for LBGT-related issues.
Information
gathered revealed that prior to his arrest in Freetown, Williams narrowly
escaped death after he was mercilessly beaten by friends and relatives of a man
he fought with because of Williams’ gay leanings. He was abandoned in the bush
and told that he should never return to Mafokoya, a village in the Tonkolili
District, Northern Sierra Leone. But he managed to walk eight hours to the
highway, eventually arriving in Freetownon 25th February 2017.
Maxwell,
whose whereabouts are not known, has been declared wanted by the police. A
reward of ten million Leones will be awarded to anyone who gives information
leading to his arrest.
Maxwell’s
escape from the police cell is still being investigated by the police. Even his
alleged gay partner, one Osman Kamara alias Josephine, is also wanted by the
police to help in the investigations on Maxwell.
