At the police press briefing past Tuesday Koroma gave the names of the hardcore criminals whom he said were under lock and key but only later to learn that they had been let loose in the streets either by forceful escape or released by the judiciary. Bailor who sounded a bit angry while addressing the press said the named criminals who included men facing charges for murder and robbery like the notorious Abubakarr alias ‘mad lion’ Osman Kafrie Kamara Sonny Brainard and Madezekeil were discharged simply because the police failed in their responsibility to produce witnesses.
