Andrew Mustapha Kamara has taken up the role of Deputy Inspector-General of the Sierra Leone Police after more than three decades with the force. He received the insignia for his new rank at a ceremony at the Senior Officers’ Mess in Kingtom, Freetown, on Friday, 13 November 2026.
Kamara joined the police in October 1992 and was first assigned to the Immigration Department after completing his training. He later led investigations in the department responsible for police complaints and discipline and served as operations officer at the Congo Cross Police Division.
Inspector-General William Fayia Sellu attended the ceremony and urged officers to work together and support one another in carrying out their duties. Former Financial Secretary Sahr Jusu presented Kamara with his new rank insignia.
Kamara will help Sellu oversee police operations as the institution works to improve accountability and strengthen its relationship with communities.
