Soldiers Allegedly Beat and Strip 20 Year Old Worker Over Theft Claim in Mile 91

A 20-year-old worker at Crystal Springs Water Company in Yoni, Mile 91, Osman Bangura, has alleged that he was stripped naked and severely beaten by soldiers after being accused of stealing NLe10,000 from his workplace.
Bangura, who describes himself as an innocent employee, says the incident occurred after he and several co-workers were accused of the alleged theft. The workers reportedly denied the accusation.
According to Bangura, instead of being handed over to the police for formal investigation, they were taken to a military facility at the Mile 91 Community Centre along the Bo Highway, where he claims he was subjected to brutal treatment.
“A stick was placed on my back, and one of the soldiers beat me with a naked cable,” Bangura alleged.
“I was stripped naked and beaten until I was forced to admit that I did it.”
He further claimed that he spent the night in military custody without any formal charge, legal representation, or court appearance.
