Over 40 Deported Sierra Leoneans Arrive from America

The head of Sierra Leone’s Transnational Organized Crime Unit (TOCU), Superintendent Mohamed Kugba Allieu, has confirmed that between February and September 2025, a total of 42 Sierra Leoneans were deported from the United States of America.

Superintendent Allieu made the statement during the regular police press briefing at the Police Officers Mess in Kingston, on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
This wave of deportations underscores ongoing efforts by authorities to tackle issues related to illegal migration, organized crime, and national security concerns.

Illegal migration contravenes several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), most notably SDG 10, which seeks to reduce inequality within and among countries.
