Diamond Mine in Kanema Sierra Leone. The military forces loyal to the Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded our house and assassinate my father and killed my mother also.
The (RUF) mistaking him for his brother MONDAY JINETTE who is the deputy to the leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF ) FODAY SANKOH.

He deposited 17.5 million US dollars contained in a trunk box in my name as containing family valuables.my father made this money from the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as
