Many top Government officials and senior Army officers were assasinated and= my father was a key target because of his very sensitive military possitio= n and appointment in the S.L.D.M.C. Regreatably to me, my father was captur= ed and murdered along with half brother in cool blood during a mid-night re= bel shoot-out when our official residence in freetown was armbushed by Ford= ey Sanko the notorious rebel leader. our mother sustainded sever bullet inj= uries which resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private hospita= l.
