People’s Movement for Democratic Change is very much concerned about news of the presumably unauthorized landing of a plane laden with cocaine at our International Air Port in Lungi.
On the same note, PMDC is pleased with the professional moves taken so far by members of the security forces especially the police in handling the matter by apprehending persons believed to have acted behind the scenes.

PRESS RELEASE
PMDC is particularly alarmed by the security implication attached to the landing, taken into consideration the facts that this is happening at a time when the country is trying to re-brand its name
The facts that the plane landed under the thick of darkness with the crew members disappearing into thin air, leaves rooms for question about the general security of the states.
The question is, what would have been the fate of the state of the crew members been mercenaries bent on unleashing terror on an already war weary people? They could have easily overrun the Air Port and used it as a base to amass troops and invade the country. The need therefore to strengthen the security of the state by maintaining closer looks at the strategic entry and exit points across the country can not be overemphasized.
PMDC views the matter under review as critical, and therefore call on the Government to treat it with the seriousness it deserves, by beefing up security nation wide to prevent a recurrence of any kind.
It is of further concern to PMDC that a package is missing from the consignment, and government should not relent in its effort to identify the culprits.
