Former President, Ernest Bai Koroma Reportedly Placed Under House Arrest

Former President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma has been reportedly placed under house arrest after an extensive two-and-a-half-hour interrogation at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today 8th December, 2023.

The developments stem from the 26th attempted failed coup, marking a significant moment in the nation’s political landscape.

The precise details surrounding the alleged coup attempt remain undisclosed, leaving the public in anticipation of further information. Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, who served as the President of Sierra Leone from 2007 to 2018, now faces a new chapter in his political career as authorities take precautionary measures.

House arrest indicates a restriction of movement, raising questions about the severity of the accusations and potential legal ramifications. As the situation unfolds, citizens and the international community eagerly await additional updates to shed light on the motives behind the alleged coup and the implications for Sierra Leone’s political stability.

Stay tuned for more details as the story continues to develop…

Hope the fools will now believe Sieraloaded news.. Read what the Ministry of Information and Civic education Wrote… how can you interpret these restrictions if not House Arrest…? “After the second day of questioning by the Sierra Leone police, former president of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma has been granted bail on self recognizance and with the condition that he stays in the confines of his property at Goderich with restricted number of visiting guests (3 from his family and 3 from his party). The conditions include that he can't step out of the house without the expressed permission of the inspector general of police. These terms will apply until his return to the police to continue the questioning on Monday at 11:00am.”

let’s the law take its course

I would suggest we continue to tuck our tail between the crack of our ass as Sierra Leoneans and allow the government investigation to take it fair course. Some will be exonerated while those guilty are bound to go under the spell of the law…

| 2023-12-08 16:50:58

This platform is full of false stories. Dr. Ernest Koroma has returned home peacefully.
| 2023-12-08 16:49:10

I believed EBK to have "narcissistic personality disorder," a mental health condition that causes an unreasonable sense of self-importance. This condition presumably affected the APC's chances in the 2018 and 2023 elections, and now it is endangering the peaceful existence of the country. It would have been better if EBK had established an NGO that caters to the needs of the APC supporters or at least acted like his predecessor, former President Kabbah, who worked with his government and was never associated with acts of sabotage that undermined the stability of the nation. Assuming you were not directly involved in this failed coup, indirectly, you are by your rhetoric on national issues and to these naive people that were close to you.

The writer didn't only write he believes he has the evidence of what he wrote so be it Let Justice prevail
| 2023-12-08 16:37:45

It happened in Guinea several years ago. Sheku Turay was like a demi god so much so that even when he was pronounced dead people didn't believe it. They thought it was impossible for sheku Turay to die. The issue at hand is a wait and see phenomenon. We pray for peace and justice to be done in Jesus name
| 2023-12-08 16:34:14

He is not under house arrest but the questioning is scheduled to continue tomorrow at 9:00 AM
Mrs. George | 2023-12-08 16:33:55

House arrest is not something bad, the Police just want him to be in Freetown especially in his house whiles the investigation continues.. however if he wants to go out some securities need to escort him because of safety purposes. For now he has to clear all the doubts the police have against him. After the investigations if not guilty, he will be allow to be move freely with any escort of securities.
mustaphamohamed | 2023-12-08 16:21:25

Recommendation to the arrest The police needs to reject all his communication sites. And always bear in mind that we need Justice we need peace to this nation we are not plenty in population.......
Mohamed Koroma | 2023-12-08 16:19:19

For those wey dey say waetin ar be say nor happen. EBK went to the CID, and he's now under a house arrest. Waetin u want argue? If EBK nor dey under a house arrest, make e return Makeni or u go around e compound if u nor go see securities surround in place. Lolz 😂 Thanks Sieraloaded for your Update… for now APC fans will not like your news because it is against them, they hate to read the truth. Let’s allow peace and the law to rule us..

Are there any proof to this write up or you're just writing what you deem fit. You should be mindful that a platform like this needs integrity for it to grow bigger and therefore whatever you post make sure you have proof/evidence to ascertain your claims inorder to get the people's trust, if not a single mistake your platform will crash. Be mindful....
