The Government of Sierra Leone through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has responded swiftly to the arrest of a vehicle belonging to its Embassy in Conakry, Guinea, along with the detention of its driver and another occupant on suspicion of drug trafficking.
The vehicle was reportedly impounded by Guinean authorities on January 13, 2025, after substances suspected to be cocaine were found.
In response to this alarming development, the Sierra Leonean government has taken immediate action by recalling its Ambassador to Guinea, Mr. Alimamy Bangura, to Freetown.
The ambassador is expected to provide a comprehensive report on the incident, shedding light on the circumstances leading to the vehicle’s impoundment and the subsequent detention of the individuals involved.
A thorough investigation has been launched to uncover the facts and ensure that all parties responsible for this serious breach are held accountable.
The Government of Sierra Leone is collaborating closely with Guinean authorities to verify the details surrounding the incident. It has emphasized its commitment to upholding both national and international drug trafficking laws, asserting that anyone found guilty will face the full weight of the law.
The government has reassured the public that updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
