Speaking to one Samuel Feika, he informed this press that he was taking his bath in the neigbouring bathroom when he had a lady known as Mamusa shouting that her mobile had fallen in the pit latrine. He explained that Mamusu called the boys and asked them to help her get the phone from the toilet. “Following this development, I came to the scene, impel the boys to go away and warned Mamusa not to give the boys such a perilous assignment,” Mr. Feika intimated. He Feika intimated that he later received a phone call at his office informing him that Amadu had drowned at the pit latrine. It was also alleged that Mamusu opted to pay the sum of Le.2000 to anyone that will get her phone, prompted Amadu to go into the pit latrine and never returned.
On to press time, Mamusu was still on the run while the remains of Amadu Sesay had already being buried at the Goderich Cemetery. The matter is presently being vigorously investigated by the police.
