Police in Sierra Leone have issued a warrant of arrest for Alusine Timbo after he failed to honor their invitation.
Timbo was invited to report to the CID at the Grafton Police Station on Monday, July 31, 2023, for investigation into alleged homosexuality.
Police sources state that, Alusine Timbo and one Abdulai were caught committing ‘buggery’(Anal Sex), and therefore had been invited by the police for investigation.
Alusine Timbo, who stands accused of being a gay, is currently on the run and in hiding.
Sierra Leone is not an accommodating space for homosexuality- legally and religious.
Those who had been caught in the act before were either mobbed by angry protesters who see it as an abomination to their culture or jailed by authorities.
The country still maintains criminal sanctions against sexual activity between consenting male adults.
Section 61 of the Offences against the Person Act 1861 criminalises “buggery” with a penalty of life imprisonment.
