There is no coup plot in Sierra Leone. It is the strategy by Maada Bio to have an opportunity to arrest, kill the stakeholders of the APC party which is Maada's strongest opponent. Maada Bio has instructed his PAOPA killer police and military officers to Target members of the APC in their Arrests and Killings. As you can see the Resident of the Former President Ernest Bai Koroma is targeted, Samura Kamara's home has been targeted, the APC party office was also targeted, Bai Mamoud and Many other APC big-guns are being looked out for. Maada Bio's intentions are to destroy all other political parties so that the SLPP party would be the only political party in Sierra Leone. Of course Maada Bio ordered the opening of the Pademba road prison as a way to abot that part of the agreement article. Before that agreement, Maada Bio has secretly killed all the people ( prisoners) arrested during the August ten demonstration and the September eleven demonstration in the country. Maada Bio is a killer president and does not want the ECOMOG forces in Sierra Leone. Maada Bio knows that the presence of the ECOMOG forces will reduce the Strength and Autonomy of his PAOPA killer forces. Please let the ECOMOG forces be deployed in the North Western regions of Sierra Leone. Maada Bio is not democratic and does not recognize Human Rights laws. Maada Bio is a thief and that was why the people of Sierra Leone voted against him. Maada Bio did all he could to win the elections but could not. In a case of Free, Fair and Transparent elections in Sierra Leone Maada Bio will not even get thirty percent of votes. Maada Bio knows that and that is why he Bribed the ECOWAS and the African Union observers. Shame on them.
