Sierra Leone’s former Attorney General and key figure in the drafting of the 1991 Constitution, Dr. Abdulai O. Conteh, a distinguished academician, is reported to have passed away in the early hours today.

Dr. Conteh leaves behind a legacy of significant contributions to Sierra Leone’s legal and political landscape.

Dr. Conteh was a revered figure at Albert Academy, where his impact on both education and national development was deeply felt. His passing represents a considerable loss for the APC party, the institution he was associated with, and the broader Sierra Leonean community.

Funeral arrangements will be announced in due course. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and all who were touched by his remarkable career and dedication. May his soul rest in peace.
