What he said in reply was: “It is an advert”. When quizzed as to why he could afford to advertise such mortifying and injurious thing about somebody’s reputation he said “I have a Master’s degree in Communication and nobody teaches me how to practice journalism”. I decided that I should report the matter to the IMC for such a manifest disregard for ethics and laws of journalistic practice by somebody claiming to have such level of education in journalism and once Acting President of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists. Secondly I called up Mr. Umaru Fofanah who is now President of the association and discussed the matter with him; he forthrightly agreed with me that nobody has the right to advertise some body’s reputation in that manner. I called up my lawyer and is going to write both men for court action.

Former Pay Master of The Sierra Leone Armed Forces in Hot Soup

Among the ten commandments in the book of Exodus 20:15 it is stated “Thou shalt not steal” It is unclear whether or not the Chief Accountant of the Ministry of Mines has ever peeped or browsed through the ten commandments to observe that part portion which talks about stealing.
