Health Minister Dies in London

Mohamed Daudis Koroma

The Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Sanitation has died in London.

Mohamed Daudis Koroma passed away on Friday 29th April 2011 at his family residence in London after a protracted illness.

Family sources have it that he died of liver cancer, though many believe his death cannot be unconnected with African black magic.

His illness started in December 2010, which forced him to fly to London for professional medical checkups. As he was planning to return home following a successful medical treatment, he was attacked by an illness known as Belt Palsy which resulted in facial paralysis.

After thorough medical attention, he returned to Freetown though with glaring signs of the facial paralysis.

Three weeks later, he was again flown to London for further treatment. He spent a week in London and was again flown to India. From India, he was sent back to London a week ago as his situation continued to deteriorate.

His remains are expected to be flown to Sierra Leone anytime soon for burial.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.
