Kexx Sanneh has told The Fatu Network masked men seized him near his house and held him captive for two days.
Sanneh’s family did not hear from him for days sparking disquiet among family and friends of the popular man.
He explained on Saturday: “It was 1am on Wednesday night. There was an unexpected action at my house when people came and began smashing glasses. We all got up and went to calm everyone and then the situation calmed.
“I was hungry at the time and decided to go to the shop to buy food. The shop by my house was closed and I then decided to walk to Bakau garage. On my way back, I found a car parked near to our compound. A man called me as I wanted to pass the car. He told me, ‘sorry bro’. He was trying to ask me where he could find Pipeline…
“I wanted to speak to him and then another man all of sudden appeared from behind me and pushed me in the car. The door of the car was locked and the drove off. They took me and in the two days I was with them, they were telling me ‘you think you own this country, if you don’t stop that will be in the end of you’.
“I asked them what I have done but they didn’t tell me anything. They then dumped me at the Bakoteh cemetery on Friday night with all parts of my body tied. I was unconscious and it was when I regained consciousness that I realized where I was and then I started screaming.
“I struggled to free myself and that led to me injuring myself because it’s plastic they used to tie me. In the morning, people came to the cemetery and there was a woman who saw me and called people who came and untied me and then I went to the police station.”
Sanneh who lives at Latrikunda German told The Fatu Network he lost consciousness shortly after the men seized him and placed a handkerchief dipped in a substance to his face. He said he was put in what appeared to be Mercedez Benz but could not say what location he was held at.
