Senior military officers in open sex drama
By Theophilus Sahr Gbenda
A startling video clip currently in circulation shows a male lieutenant colonel and a female lieutenant, both serving in the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF), having sex in an administrative block.
Although the said video clip showing the former 5 Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Osman Jonah Sesay and one Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses having sex on the floor has been seen by top ranking officials of the RSLAF, no disciplinary action has been instituted against them.
In what many observers have referred to as a reward for dragging the name of the RSLAF into disrepute, both Lieutenant Colonel Osman Jonah Sesay and Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses have been selected to proceed on an AMISOM assignment in Somalia and are currently receiving the requisite training at the Horton Academy operated by IMATT.
The said video clip leaked out when Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses took her laptop computer for repairs. Accordingly, it was during the process of repairing the said laptop that the technician came across a file containing the incredible pornographic clip.
How Mrs. Mabinty Sesay, the legally weeded wife of Lt. Colonel Osman Jonah Sesay laid hands on the clip in question remains a mystery, but what came out clearly was that she challenged her husband on the matter; for which she received a chain of nasty beatings, one of which is said to have left her with a swollen face.
Reportedly, Mrs. Mabinty Sesay first reported the matter to the Military Police (MP) and later to Brigadier Kestoria Kabia who is said to have retorted by asking her to choose between the clip and her husband’s future in the military.
It could be noted that Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses, sometime last year bypassed official channels and reported a matter of sexual harassment to the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone (HRCSL) and the Office of the Ombudsman.
In her report, she claimed of being a perpetual victim of sexual harassment perpetuated against her by a colonel in the force. Though she failed to mention the name of the said colonel in the report, the 3 Infantry Brigade Commander at Murray Town, Colonel Osman Turay alias Asterix, got suspended as a result, pending further investigation into the matter. Also suspended was the complainant Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses, reportedly for bypassing official channels.
Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses was however reinstated after a week and enlisted in the batch of personnel currently undergoing rapid training for the AMISOM deployment in Somalia. Accordingly, Lt. Colonel Osman Jonah Sesay is the contingent commander designate for the said deployment.
In a heated media encounter with the Acting Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of the RSLAF, Brigadier S. O. Williams at the senior officers’ mess, Wilberforce, the question was posed to him as to whether he has set eyes on the clip. His answer was in the negative.
Asked whether he would like to see it as it was readily available, he maintained that viewing the said clip will influence his decision in the matter involving Colonel Asterix whose investigations he said was concluded on 19th January with a decision due anytime soon.
Though uninterested in viewing the clip based on the reason advanced above, Brigadier S. O. Williams posed the question “How did you get the clip”? The response proffered was that it was best for him to first view the clip as a matter of concern and thereafter ask any question.
Asked why Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses was reinstated long before the completion of the investigations, Brigadier S. O. Williams noted that a mistake was done on the original orders warranting the suspension of the two officers. According to him, it was later realized that suspending the complainant despite the fact that she bypassed official channels to relay her complaint, was an unreasonable decision. Further questioned as to whether the decision to order the suspension of the officers was done in a rush courtesy of the blunder, his response was “Not really”.
Reports monitored indicate that it was the Minister of Defence, Retired Major Paolo Conteh, who actually ordered her immediate reinstatement.
The question on the lips of many observers now is whether based on the outstanding sexual performance displayed by Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses in the spectacular clip, her accusation of sexual harassment was not cooked up to jeopardize the future of a whole colonel that is on record as being one of the most educated and disciplined commanders in the force.
An unchallenged newspaper report sometime last year published a damning story indicating that Lieutenant Boi Inah Moses entered into the force with a fake academic certificate.
Meanwhile, both the Human Rights Commission and the Office of the Ombudsman have remained silent on the matter, a pointer that they have simply dismissed the sexual harassment claim as fictitious.
Meanwhile further, it has come out clearly that most of the personnel serving in the hierarchy of the RSLAF have exceeded their retirement age but are refusing to go, thereby suppressing the growth of younger and far more competent officers within the force.
Meanwhile furthermore, there are reports that the selection of personnel for the current AMISOM deployment and other external operations is marred by high level corruption.
