The ongoing Operation Waste Disposal and Management, Improved Road Safety and Decongestion of City Streets (Operation WID) is reported to have reached a very violent dimension as a Lebanese business magnate publicly slapped a police officer.<\/p>\n
Eyewitness account reveals that on Wednesday this week a team of metropolitan police officers of the Freetown City Council raided Siaka Stevens Street from where they cleared street traders and deposited them right in front of Lebanese shops along Rawdon Street. This act is said to have angered one of the Lebanese men, Hedjazi of 34 Rawdon Street.<\/p>\n
The aggrieved Hedjazi is reported to have complained that the deposited traders were obstructing the view of his shop and demanded their immediate removal, a demand which triggered a heated argument between Hedjazi and the police and in the process, Hedjazi lost control of his temper and gave a very hot slap to one of the police officers, Inspector Abu Bakarr Kamara. Hedjazi and some of his cohorts are reported to be now helping the police with their investigation.<\/p>\n
