Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The house of Sierra Leone forward Kei Kamara remains under police protection after the striker missed a penalty against Equatorial Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Kamara’s home in Freetown was targeted after Sierra Leone lost the game in Limbe 1-0, putting them out of the tournament. Had Kamara scored, it would likely have secured a draw which would have seen them go through.<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that police are still deployed in Kei Kamara’s house to protect it from disgruntled youths who are not happy because he missed a penalty against Equatorial Guinea,” the Sierra Leone police deputy head of media told BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n

“The Sierra Leone police – as an institution that’s very proactive in its approach – got intelligence indicating that angry youths wanted to attack his house and we decided to go to the house even before the match ended.”<\/p>\n

“We know what happened to Umaru Bangura a few years back, so we decided to be proactive.”<\/p>\n

This was a reference to the team’s captain, whose house was pelted with stones after he also missed a penalty in critical circumstances, this time in stoppage time during a 2022 World Cup qualifier against Liberia.<\/p>\n

The police added that “no harm was done” to Kamara’s house and the “youths in the area are cooperating with us.”<\/p>\n

The former Norwich City and Middlesbrough striker is yet to comment on the police deployment.<\/p>\n
