November 2, 2024

A tragic discovery has left the Kono District community in shock as Osman Alie, the son of a deputy sector chief, was found dead in the bush under mysterious circumstances.

The young man had been missing since Tuesday, October 29, 2024, when he reportedly left home to inspect the family’s garden. Due to ongoing disputes involving the land, all activities there had been suspended, and it is believed that Osman went to ensure the ban was respected.

When he failed to return that evening, his family grew concerned. A search party was organized, and after two days of searching, his body was found on Thursday, October 31, bearing what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the chest.

The police have launched an investigation into the incident, though no suspects have been identified, and the exact circumstances remain unclear. The young man’s death has unsettled the community, leaving residents anxious as they await further updates from authorities.

Local leaders have urged the community to remain calm while the investigation continues, hoping to provide answers to this deeply disturbing incident.
