It has been revealed that the much controversial ACC interview of former President Koroma will take place on Monday 23rd November at a venue to be provided by the international community.
The interview will be held at an undisclosed location to avoid supporters of the former president from crashing the interview, which has been called off twice due to miscommunication or poor handling of protocols by the ACC.
The most recent attempt to interview the former president failed after the letter inviting him to the ACC headquarters was delivered on 17th November although it was signed on the 11th November.
Former President Ernest Koroma was expected to attend the interview two days later on the 19th of November. He did not show up for the interview, and his lawyers cited security reasons.
The invitation was followed by a threat from security forces on the 18th November threatening to robustly deal with any member of the public who takes to the streets either in support or to welcome former President Koroma. It could also be recalled that Office of National Security ONS, had earlier blamed former President Koroma for the standoff in Makeni that led to an aborted plan to interview him and threatened to hold him responsible for any similar incident.
A social media post by Patrick Sandy the ACC head of communications threatening a warrant of arrest for the former president if he does not avail himself for an interview within 72 hours is viewed by a close associate of former President Koroma as an attempt to derail an already agreed interview scheduled within the time frame he stated. ” such threats do not move President Koroma.” he stated.
Former President Ernest Bai Koroma continues to vouch his innocence and vows to robustly defend his name which he says is being tarnished in an attempt to politically intimidate him.

Why this government is always chasing his opposition while the masses are suffering crying for food, electricity broblem, water problem, even the educational sector is going to the drean and they are busy fighting their opposition

GOD bless you sir.
Let us put our interest to the country as our first priority, let political attachment don’t divide us in this nation, we are all one people and one country. We also need to respect former leaders of this country that will moving the development of the country, without such am adoubt, we also to relies that what comes around must goes around if the politicians develop this idea how long will this country move forward for the future generation of our family. Thank you all long live our leaders long live Sierra Leone.
My brother you are a real patriotic Sierra Leonean let the Almighty Allah continue to guide and protect you and do the good talk.
Our Justice system must be independent if we are serious in fighting corruptions in Sierra Leone. A lot of interferences within and outside the justice security contribute to the stands the country today.
Also, noted, other state institutions such as d security are not independently working. Wrong orders are always demonstrated which shows serious weaknesses in executing state functions. Untill those key factors work independently, then, we are serious in moving Mama Salone. Thank you.
Let us respect x president koroma
