Fifteen graves have been vandalised at the Calmont Road Cemetery at Waterloo in Sierra Leone’s capital.
Unknown individuals breached the main entrance of the cemetery and caused significant damage to newly buried graves.
The affected graves contained fresh coffins, intensifying the distressing nature of the incident.
The Waterloo Police visited the scene to assess the damage and gather evidence, while authorities are investigating the situation to identify the perpetrators and understand the motive behind this disturbing act.
Residents are calling for increased security measures to prevent further occurrences and to restore a sense of safety and respect within the cemetery.
This disturbing and macabre trend has emerged involving the production of a potent drug known as Kush.
Reports indicate that this drug is being manufactured using dead human bones, a practice that highlights severe issues of both drug abuse and ethical violations.
Kush, a powerful hallucinogen, is traditionally made from various substances, but the use of human remains marks a disturbing new development.
These bones are reportedly sourced from graveyards or illegally exhumed, adding a layer of horror to the already dangerous drug trade. The process involves grinding the bones into a powder, which is then mixed with other ingredients to produce the drug.
This grisly practice not only raises significant ethical and moral concerns but also poses severe health risks to users. The consumption of such substances can lead to unpredictable and dangerous effects, exacerbating the public health crisis in Sierra Leone.
