Notorious Drug Lord Arrested in Bo After Years on the Run
Jubilation filled the streets of Bo as residents celebrated the arrest of 58-year-old Dide Maxwell, a drug dealer who had long terrorized the region. Maxwell, once believed to be protected by powerful connections, was apprehended in a major operation led by the Sierra Leone Police.
Authorities seized a cache of illegal substances, an electronic scale, and cash believed to be proceeds from his illicit activities. His arrest comes after increased oversight and leadership reshuffles in the southeast, signaling renewed determination in the fight against drug trafficking.
Maxwell is currently held at the Transnational Organized Crime Unit in Hastings, where investigations continue. Residents and authorities alike hope this arrest will lead to the dismantling of wider drug networks in the region, boosting public safety and restoring community confidence.
