IGP Sellu Update ECOWAS Standby Force on Internal Security Status
With the aim to interact with authorities and other stakeholders for the establishment of administrative and logistics needs for the deployment of ECOWAS mission, a nine man delegation headed by Brig Gen Mactar Diop, has received an update on internal security status from the Inspector General of Police (IGP ) Mr. William Fayia Sellu.
It could be recalled that the 64th Ordinary Session of the Authority of the heads of State and Government held on the 10th December 2023 in Abuja directed the ECOWAS Commission to facilitate the deployment of ECOWAS mission to Sierra Leone.
In the framework of the preparation for the deployment of the mission, the ECOWAS Commission was tasked to conduct a preliminary reconnaissance from 4 to 10 February 2024.
Other members of the delegation includes, Brig Gen Omubo Doniboye, Col Attoumgbre Joseph Kouame, Col Ibrahim Alhassan Mohamed, Col Claude D Jehoungo, Col Richard Balima, Lieutenant Col Seedy Joof, ACP Hamidu Nuhu and Mr Bekaye Coulibaly
I want to believe that E C O W A S personnel are coming to the safety of the citizens and not for the Government.
