Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/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\u2019s 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

\u201cI can confirm that police are still deployed in Kei Kamara\u2019s house to protect it from disgruntled youths who are not happy because he missed a penalty against Equatorial Guinea,\u201d the Sierra Leone police deputy head of media told BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sierra Leone police \u2013 as an institution that\u2019s very proactive in its approach \u2013 got intelligence indicating that angry youths wanted to attack his house and we decided to go to the house even before the match ended.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what happened to Umaru Bangura a few years back, so we decided to be proactive.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was a reference to the team\u2019s 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 \u201cno harm was done\u201d to Kamara\u2019s house and the \u201cyouths in the area are cooperating with us.\u201d The former Norwich City and Middlesbrough striker is yet to comment on the police deployment. BBC News<\/p>\n
