Former Sierra Leonean president Ernest Bai Koroma has been placed under house supervision in what the opposition say is house arrest following the recent violence.
Koroma was questioned on Monday (Dec. 11) for the third time by police in Freetown about the events of November 26, described by the authorities as an attempted coup d’état.
On Saturday, the government had announced that Mr. Koroma, who led Sierra Leone from 2007 to 2018, had been placed under a regime akin to house arrest, information disputed by one of his lawyers.
Sierrra Leone’s Minister of information had said that the former president had been released “on condition that he remains within the confines of his property (in Freetown) and that he receives a limited number of guests.
On Monday, a large number of police officers were deployed around his residence.
According to the Sierra Leonean authorities, some of Mr. Koroma’s former guards are suspected of having taken part in the unrest of November 26.
In the early hours of that day, men attacked a military armory, two barracks, two prisons and two police stations.
The fighting left 21 people dead, 18 members of the security services and three assailants, according to the Minister of Information.

One response to “Former Sierra Leone president confined to home after questioning”
OMG!! This is certainly shocking and a genuine testimony.I visited a forum here on the internet on the 1ST OF AUGUST 2022, And I saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful and great spell caster called Dr Aluya on the forum.I never believed it, because I never heard nor learnt anything about magic before.. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about magical spells, not until Dr Aluya did it for me and restored my marriage of 4years back to me and brought my spouse back to me in the same 72 hours just as I have read on the internet..I was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I am really short of expressions, and I don’t know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr Aluya, you are a God sent to me and my entire family. here is his contact if you have any problem of such or anything else email: aluyakespelltemple@ ive. com or +2349064430408
