Bio’s Government Set to Drop Treason Charges Against Former President Koroma

1 Mar 2025 1 min read 6,697 views 14 comments

Former President Ernest Bai Koroma is expected to return to Sierra Leone soon, with sources indicating that the Bio-led administration has decided to drop all charges against him, according to information emerging from a recent meeting between the All People’s Congress (APC) and the Attorney General.

The APC delegation, comprising Deputy Leader Ambassador Yansaneh, Secretary General Lansana Dumbuya Esq., and Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, met with Attorney General Alpha Sesay to press for the swift implementation of Resolution 4 of the Agreement for National Unity.

This resolution focuses on the release of political detainees and the return of exiles, with Koroma’s case being a central point of discussion.

Attorney General Sesay described the discussions as “constructive,” emphasizing a “collective commitment to take this process to completion.” The APC’s primary focus was on expediting Koroma’s return and clearing his name.

Koroma, who is currently in Nigeria for medical treatment, had been facing charges related to an alleged coup attempt against President Julius Maada Bio’s government last year.

He has consistently denied any involvement. Despite the pending trial, the High Court granted him permission in January 2024 to travel to Nigeria for three months for medical reasons.

If these eavesdropping turns out to be true, then Sierra Leone is truly a land of injustice. If for the sake of political expediency, a criminal can be let off the hooks, the poor and down trodden of society have no hope in the Unity, Freedom, and Justice on our national coat of arms, rendering it utterly useless and without meaning. I will hate myself to witness such a blatant disregard for the lives of the men in loyalty to duty to the state, prematurely had their lives taken away from them, because a power hungry politician thinks he has the muscles of doing anything and get away with it . I will hardly and may be, never believe in the Sierra Leone I claim to have a birth right to.

If the SLPP government decide to drop all charges against the former president meaning there’s no evidence on what they claim.

Many at times I hate saying or give contributions on article. Majority of the contributors here gives their opinion on regional or ethnical balance. Government is continuity and investigation means finding the truth.
So what is wrong if the Government decided to drop down political cases?

  1. You impugn the integrity of SL Attorney Generals and SL Criminal Justice System if you claim people have been imprisoned for political rather than criminal reasons, although I am aware of allegations of various SL Presidents ordering people be detained within SL Prisons without any criminal charges!
  2. What lessons have APC learnt from its experiences to merit being re-considered as SL-Government-in-Waiting?

I don’t know how this said Boi government securities official that were killed during this action of behavior surfacing our former president Koroma.
So my question is how are those that’s were affected and to the extended killed during this action of course there relative are still remaining interested in giving order of justice system that clean and law enforcement body. By doing so our country sierra Leones will continue punishing those that’s are still remaining interested in behavioring the same way tomorrow to gain power as those that are involved in such unthinking account of behavior surfacing our country formal president Koroma today.
For us as good citizens of this country needs justice system through the coats of laws not spoon feeding from outside powers forced. Like it has been happening before this time with now improving our country sierra Leones justice system.
