The evil that men do, live with them. Let them face the music for what they do to the nation.
Let them face the full force of the law
They were sent by others
What crime did they commit? Treason? Against who? Is it against someone who has absolutely NO LEGITIMACY to govern Sierra Leone? Maada Bio has been committing heinous crimes against the people of Sierra Leone. Time will tell.
let them uproot what they have sold
hope the investigation was done with no political issues
They should be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Let them go to the PRP and reflects on their wrong decisions there.
When some one commits sin against his fellow man then man can intercede on his behave But if a man commits sin directly against God like what these people did no man can dear venture to do anything but allow them to be dealt with according to God wrath.
Well, the government of the man who is illegitimate will now sentence your men legally to prison for committing crimes against his government. You guys will never be honest even for a second in your life.
We are all Sierra leonean,Let bygones be bygones.
Alas! Just has prevailed. Thanks to the jury for such an unbiased decision .
Treason? Where is the evidence? More like sedition, mutiny?
We are now observing the government if they are going free to make another plan
