Hundreds of Youths on Tuesday August 22nd 2023, gathered at the residence of a Sierra Leonean deportee from Germany, late Alhaji Kamara who died of Psycho-Social effects since he was deported despite several psychiatrists interventions.
According to family sources, at the age of 16 years, Alhaji was lucky to bag a scholarship to study Hotel Management and Tourism at Chou in Switzerland in 2004 which was organized by a Swiss Humanitarian Educational Organization.
Upon graduation, he migrated to neighbouring Federal Republic of Germany where he secured a job at a Hotel frequented by Tourist in Heidelberg; he was married to a German woman and had lived with her for fifteen years without any crime.
Sources added that, Alhaji had acquired a land for his parents back home which was under completion while in Germany. At one time, a female Sierra Leoneans who migrated to Germany was stranded; she was introduced to Alhaji who decided to assist her to regulate her stay.
Sadly when the lady was introduced Isatu to his German wife as a Stranded Sister from Sierra Leone, the German wife became jealous and took a knife to stab him, he held her hand and was able to overcome her.
The wife went to the nearest police station purporting that Alhaji made an attempt to kill her because of her Sierra Leonean Woman. Family sources went on to say that the police had no alternative but to deport Alhaji leaving all his acquired properties and his money in Germany. The family sources disclosed further that since his arrival years back, Alhaji had been victim of incurable psycho-social effect until his death.
The National Coordinator of the Network of Ex-Asylum Seekers, Mr. Abdulai Daramy says they have been morally and financially supportive to Alhaji Kamara until his sudden death. He added they visited him frequently but his condition was deteriorating.
“He always talks of his plight nothing that he has done nothing wrong and should not have been treated this way,” Mr.Daramy said, adding that since the establishment of NEAS in 2009, many deportees have lost their lives because of frustration; this is why they are now working on a deportation policy to avert such human effects.
