HIS WIFE AND FAMILY DURING THE CIVIL WAR IN THE COUNTRY.
BRIEFLY MY COUNTRY SIERRA LEONE IS A DIAMOND RICH COUNTRY OF ABOUT 4.5MILLION
PEOPLE AS THE POPULATION. SIERRA LEONE RANKS AMONGS ONE OF THE LARGEST PROCUDERS/EXPORTERS
OF DIAMOND. WHILE THE WAR LASTED OVER 500.000 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES AND
PROPERTIES WORTH MILLION OF DOLLARS WERE DESTROYED. IN JANUARY 1999 ALONE

HOWEVER BY VIRTUE OF MY LATE FATHER'S CLOSENESS TO THE RULING GOVERNMENT,
HE SUPERVISED THE MOVEMENT OF HUGE AMOUNT OF CASH (BOTH LOCAL AND FOREIGN
CURRENCY) FROM ONE BANK TO ANY OTHER BRANCH IN THE FEDERATION AND SO WAS
EXPOSED TO OFFICIAL FRAUD AND CORRUPTION GOING ON IN ALL FACETS IN OUR NATIONAL
LIVES. MY LATE FATHER WITNESSED ON SEVERAL OCCASION THE DIVERSION OF FUNDS

HIS PERSONAL PURSIUT.
DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR OPERATION (MOVEMENT OF MONEY FROM SIERRA LEONE
ABROAD IN EARLY DECEMBER 1999 FOR THE PURCHASE OF WEAPON AND LOGISTICS TO
THE NATIONAL ARMY, MY FATHER WAS ABLE TO DIVERT FUNDS AMOUNTING TO THE SUM
OF USD18M WHICH HE MOVED TO A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY IN EUROPE TO
SECURE OUR FUTURE.
NOW IS THE TIME TO MOVE ON, I DO NOT INTEND TO GO BACK TO MY COUNTRY SIERRA
