The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has conveyed its heartfelt appreciation to the authorities of Sierra Leone for granting permission to former President Ernest Bai Koroma to travel abroad for medical reasons.
In a communique issued this morning, ECOWAS expressed admiration for the humanitarian gesture extended by Sierra Leone’s authorities, emphasizing its positive impact on the well-being of both Sierra Leone and the broader ECOWAS region.
The regional body renewed its commitment to providing unwavering support to the government and citizens of Sierra Leone. ECOWAS pledged to stand by the nation’s endeavors to promote peace, security, and the advancement of democracy and good governance.
President Bio, addressing the nation on Thursday, clarified that the decision to allow the former President to travel for specialized medical reasons was driven by humanitarian considerations.
Notably, Koroma had faced charges related to his alleged involvement in the failed attempted coup on November 26th. The move to permit his medical travel was underscored as a humanitarian gesture, emphasizing the importance of addressing health concerns above political considerations.

Sierra Leone is now a puppet country to Nigeria. Why ECOWAS can’t do this to other countries in the sub region. This will go history
Na d lay bele president wea we get na e make 4 say nor oder contri nor dae 4 medical pass Nigeria ok ooooo we dae see. 🥸🥸🥸
USELESS ECOWAS
Why can’t they focus on major issues in the region? In the case of Mali , Guinea, Guinea Bissau
Mi ar Taya sef 😂
Compromising the laws of the land will set a bad precedent in the future. We are still asking for the review of the national constitution.
This has never happened in any other countries in the world, Sierra Leone government is like a football game controlling by the coach, the coach of Bio is ECOWAS or remote they are controlling him by their own liking.
EBK good bye ya
Good morning, my fellow citizens. Please hold heart. There is no wickedness that will go unpunish in the sight of the almighty God. Let us continue to pray for our president, government, citizens and families. Exodus 14: 14, ” The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace”. Amen. May God give us courage to overcome, and bless us all, in Jesus name. Amen.
The court did no prove EBK guilty, trial is still going on
Sierra Leone is not a puppet to Nigeria. Instead, it is a burden to Nigeria. When Sierra Leone had her mess in 1997, ECOWAS formed ÈCOMOG and reinstated the SLPP led government of Tejan Kabba. Nigeria expended blood and money to do sso.Then, nobody was talking about Sierra Leone being a puppet to Nigeria. ECOWAS took this action because they know this might be a political vendetta to eliminate all political opponents. Bio said his action is based on humanitarian consideration, but what about Kamaraiba who allegedly committed less serious crime than what Ernest is allegedly accused of. Why was he not allowed bail to seek medical attention even within the borders of Sierra Leone. Hypocrisy!!! Remember, karma always come back……
We want to see the letter of gratitude ECOWAS extended to Sierra Leone government, you people are full of fake and misguided news
All I know,,the paopas that have kill,burn opposition houses,, marginalized, intimate people are the one who are now feel betrayed by president bio,, thinking stupidly that we are going to have a one party State,, they now think problem is coming,,..
And expect that when you plant rice you harvest rice..
