The College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (COMAHS), University of Sierra Leone has informed the general public that it is greatly disturbed by a misleading audio message that is being widely circulated on social media alleging religious discrimination against a female student of the College in a Press Statement.

The Press Release further reveals that the College administration totally condemns this mischievous act done by an unknown individual, which has propensity of undermining the credibility of the institution.

The release states “The Administration assures the rest of the public about its continuous commitment to religious tolerance, academic freedom, peace and stability,”

The release confirms that the student in question has since been attending her normal lectures unhindered, contrary to what the audio alleges.

The College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences emphasized that it has always maintained a policy of non-discrimination of staff and students regardless of tribe, race, colour or religion in line with our long-standing tradition of tolerance as a nation. The public is therefore urged to discountenance the said audio that is being circulated as its contents are completely misleading and devoid of the facts and merely aims at creating unnecessary disquiet and tension.
