Big Trouble for Drug Dealers in Kono District as Police Conduct Anti Drug Operation

The Operations Team of Motema Division on Friday, 1st May 2026, carried out a targeted anti-drug operation at the “One Bone” mining site in Kumao Town, Kono District, as part of ongoing efforts to curb the distribution and use of narcotic substances within the area.
The exercise, which was led by Operations Officer Inspector Abubakarr Kamara, focused on disrupting a suspected drug network believed to be operating within the mining community. According to security sources, the operation forms part of a broader enforcement strategy aimed at addressing drug-related activities in identified hotspots across the division.

Following the initial activity at the mining site, the team extended its outreach to Old Borom Road in Koakoyima Town, where officers engaged residents in sensitization discussions. The engagement emphasized the importance of community participation in reporting and preventing drug-related crimes, with residents encouraged to provide credible and timely information to support police operations.
