Unnamed sources close to the CID allege the arrest may be connected to a recently discovered container filled with Kush, a dangerous illegal drug, at Water Quay. The drug has been linked to numerous deaths in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Details surrounding the arrest emerged through a live video Malador shared on his social media page. In the video, officers are seen approaching Malador\u2019s vehicle and requesting him to accompany them to the Regional Police Headquarters with his company documents.<\/p>\n<p>Malador is heard inquiring whether it\u2019s an invitation or an arrest warrant. He expresses his intention to consult with his lawyers if it\u2019s an invitation. The officers withhold a response and insist on his cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The video shows at least five police officers surrounding Malador. One officer is heard informing Malador of his arrest under orders from the Inspector General of Police. The officers then cut off the live video.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest comes shortly after Malador launched a zero-interest loan program in Freetown, offering financial assistance to Sierra Leoneans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
