Kanyiba Clocks One Year Incommunicado
By Fabakary B. Ceesay
Mr. Kanyiba Kanyi, a UDP supporter who was arrested at his home village of Bonto in Kombo East, has now served one year in detention. Mr. Kanyi, a staff of Christian Children Fund (CCF), was arrested on 18 September 2006. Mr. Kanyi, has not appeared before any court of law on any charge since his arrest, last year.
According to his family members, they have moved heaven and earth to locate their breadwinner but to no avail. They said they visited all the suspected ocations where his captors might have detained Mr. Kanyi. They lamented that they have been up to Janjangbureh Prison but could not establish his whereabouts. They noted that they have made countless enquiries at the state central prison at Mile Two, but which bore no fruits. They lamented how they are living in a state of agony any time they think of their loved one. The family members who were almost in tears, said they lacked words to express how disheartening the continued detention of Kanyi is to them. They said they left everything in the hands of God. Mr. Kanyiba had left behind a pregnant wife who is now nursing a six month old baby boy. It could be recalled that Mr. Kanyi was arrested at his home in the evening of 18 September 2006, by four plain clothes men who identified themselves as state security agents. He was said to have been forcefully pushed in a waiting cab and quickly whisked away. Since that day, his family has never set their eyes on him. A case has been filed before the High for his release.
