At the end of this great battle in which he is reported to\u00a0have wreaked massive destruction on the Kamajors, the Beloved Mayor is reported to\u00a0have been captured and taken to an unknown hideout where it is believed the Kamajor\u00a0High Priest is carrying out extensive studies on him to discover the source of his strength\u00a0and fighting skills. I am also aware that the good Herbert has been disconnected from the\u00a0outside world so that the Kamajor High Priest can properly conduct his tests on him,\u201d a\u00a0Close Protection Officer, Captain Wai Sai, who was attached to the good old Herbert\u00a0explained to the Searching Man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we were going to press a die hard Red Fellow, a Herbert beneficiary, quipped that he\u00a0was sure he glimpsed the good old Mayor in war mood entering his War Parlour at\u00a0Wallace Johnson Street in Freetown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou must be hallucinating because what or who you saw was definitely not Herbert the\u00a0Beloved. The man is safe with us. We will soon release him to face the Anti Corruption\u00a0Commission and explain how he had been spending the Freetown City Council money\u00a0which has now resulted in virtually wrecking the place,\u201d a Green Man countered.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"25758_as-drug-abuse-engulf_1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">As drug abuse engulfs nation, where is Kandeh Bangura? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The good old Searching Man is acutely aware that a lot of good folks are constantly\u00a0debating that either good old Kandeh Bangura has died long ago or he is out of the\u00a0country or he is in his village up country raising plants and animals and drinking\u00a0palm wine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, folks will be surprised to learn that Hemor Kandeh Bangura is right inside the\u00a0historic ancient city of Freetown heading the outfit charged with the responsibility of\u00a0coming up with ideas on how to combat the high rate of drug abuse that has now become\u00a0commonplace in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now folks will be shocked to learn also that in all the many years that this outfit has\u00a0existed (actually created by former President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah to give poor Kandeh\u00a0somewhere to eat), it has not done anything remarkable to address the drug abuse\u00a0problem in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perhaps the only achievement that Kandeh Bangura and his group can boast of is for him\u00a0to be riding in a jeep all day, sit in a plush office, eat a lot of lunch and make unrealistic\u00a0reports at the end of each year to justify their existence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When last did you see or hear Kandeh Bangura and his people in a campaign even talking\u00a0about drug abuse problem in the country? The Searching Man will want you to tell him\u00a0and please be honest.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"25758_stop-press-minkailu-_1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Stop press!
