A disturbing mystery has gripped Freetown following the sudden disappearance of Mrs. Christiana Coker, the mother of Mr. Ezekiel Ade Coker, who has reportedly been missing for several months. According to information reaching our newsroom, Mrs. Coker was last seen after visiting a local police station to file a formal complaint regarding a series of death threats she had been receiving from unknown individuals demanding information about her son’s whereabouts.
Tragically, just days after that police visit, on April 26, 2025, the family’s residence located at 81 Kissy Road, Freetown, was set ablaze under mysterious circumstances. The fire, which broke out late in the night, destroyed most of the property, leaving neighbours terrified and raising serious questions about the safety of Mrs. Christiana Coker.
Eyewitnesses from the Kissy Road community recount that Mrs. Coker had been living in fear for weeks prior to her disappearance. “She was worried and constantly spoke about strange men following her,” one neighbour told reporters. “We tried to comfort her, but she said the threats were becoming unbearable.”
Authorities have since launched an investigation into both the arson attack and Mrs. Coker’s disappearance, describing the situation as “deeply troubling and suspicious.” Police sources say they are treating the incidents as potentially connected, as both the missing persons case of Ezekiel Ade Coker and the disappearance of his mother appear to involve a pattern of intimidation and violence.
Community leaders and civil society groups are now calling for swift action by law enforcement to uncover the truth behind the threats and bring the perpetrators to justice. Human rights advocates have also expressed concern over what they describe as “a growing culture of fear and impunity” in local communities.
Meanwhile, the Sierra Leone Police are appealing to the general public for any information that could help locate Mrs. Christiana Coker.
Anyone with credible information is urged to contact the nearest police station or reach out to community authorities as the investigation continues.
