Four Sierra Leonean athletes have allegedly gone missing from the Commonwealth Games Village in Glasgow, Scotland.
It is yet to be confirmed whether the four athletes; two boxers-Abdul Bangura, Mohamed Sillah and two weightlifters-Abu Kabia and Jonathan Johnson have all abandoned their team at the games village.
The quartets have not been seen around the village environment for the whole of Wednesday and are believed to have left with their room keys unlike the young cyclist who left with his key but is still missing.
Both Kabia and Sillah failed to progress from their preliminary fights losing in the 75Kg to Canadian Blair Brody and Australia Denis Lewis in the 69Kg respectively.

Weightlifter, Jonathan Johnson was unable to proceed from his 77Kg Group C contest. Unlike Johnson, Kabia never competed in the 85 Kg which he was entered for in the Games.
However, several officials in the Sierra Leone delegation remain tight lipped on the matter saying they are monitoring the situation and cannot confirm if the athletes have decided to abandon the camp because it is their normal habit to stay out for long and then you spot them later eating or sharing jokes with their colleagues.
