Europe’s Most Wanted Dr_ug Lord ‘Protected in Sierra Leone After Fathering Child with President’s Daughter’
Europe’s Most Wanted Dr_ug Lord ‘Protected in Sierra Leone After Fathering Child with President’s Daughter’ – Europe’s most wanted cocaine trafficker, Dutch fugitive Jos Leijdekkers, popularly known as Chubby Jos, has allegedly secured protection in Sierra Leone by fathering a child with the daughter of President Julius Maada Bio, according to opposition figures.
Leijdekkers, aged 34, has been on the run from European authorities for more than two years and is wanted for large-scale c0caine tr@fficking, torture, and murd£r.
He reportedly faces a total of 74 years in prison for multiple convictions in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Opposition leader Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray accused the Sierra Leonean government of harbouring the fugitive.
“Agnes Bio, the President’s daughter, gave birth to Leijdekkers’ child in New York,” Mansaray claimed, alleging that the Bio administration was “shielding the Dutch drug trafficker and frustrating international efforts to bring him to justice.”
Leijdekkers is said to have been seen in public with the Bio family, including during a New Year’s church service shared online by First Lady Fatima Bio, where he appeared standing two rows behind the President.

Reports that he sat beside Agnes Bio were denied by President Bio, who insisted he had “no knowledge of the man.”
Footage obtained by various media outlets also shows Leijdekkers attending a private birthday party for Immigration Chief Alusine Kanneh in March 2024, where he was filmed presenting a gift.
Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Communication later released a statement denying the allegations, saying President Bio had “no knowledge of the identity or issues detailed concerning Leijdekkers.”
Leijdekkers is believed to be operating under the alias Omar Sheriff, running a billion-euro d_rug network from a fortified residence in Freetown. Dutch authorities have since lodged an extradition request, though it remains unresolved.
The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime (GI-TOC) reports that the so-called “Africa route,” used to smuggle c0caine into Europe, now accounts for one-third of the continent’s dr_ug flow — a figure expected to rise to half within five years.
