posted in the Cocorioko forum were brought to the notice of Rev.Wilfred

THE APC WILL GET THEIR WISH

"It seems APC is wishing for a second round of
war. They will soon get it if they continue on this path. The last time
they joined the AFRC/RUF coalition, we kicked their arses. We shall do
it again. That's why we have burnt down the car of the Resident Minister
Southern Province. Next in line is Musa Tarawallie. We will burn down
his house and car. "
"The army is already split because of APC
tribalism so if they think they have an army, they are in for a rude
awakening. Ernest Koroma may not finish his term if he continues to
exhibit such incompetence in governance. Again, APC shall get its wish
and this time the Southeast may just prevent the central government from
looting our resources as we provide 85% of the country's GDP. "
"Hey Kabs if war breaks out be rest assured we
will expel your ............ you are the enemies within. In fact I am
not sure they are safe. I may just send information so that your
........ is harrassed. You have taken our hospitality for granted. You
enjoy Southern hospitality but burn with hatred."

after you we kill you. "

THOUGH THESE THREATS were made in an open online forum where people do
not use their real names, Police , FBI and Home Security Operatives
advice that all threats to human life be taken seriously and not be
taken for granted.
We have taken the appropriate measures and
informed the relevant security authorities in the U.S and Sierra Leone .
A press statement from the COCORIOKO BOARD is
coming out soon.
