Claiming that a "great Mende warrior" called Pa Samai founded a settlement in the Western Area peninsula of Sierra Leone right next to Freetown is highly suspect. From my understanding, the Mende originated from the other side of the country - southeast and it is unlikely that Pa Samai would travel across the country to wage war (he is a claimed warrior) and conquer land in rural Freetown while ignoring hectares of free space between the two regions. Sounds like revisionist fantasy to me, but I may be completely wrong. This is why WP's verifiability policy is so important, otherwise unsourced material like this one will be removed within a reasonable time if no second or third party source for Pa Samai's founding of "Samuel Town" emerges. Strange how the place isn't called "Samai Town".
