Former President Koroma Granted Bail Amidst Treason Charges

Aaron Parker

Ernest Bai Koroma, the former president of the Sierra Leone has been granted bail after facing a magistrate on charges of treason.

The court session resulted in a decision to adjourn Koroma’s case until January 17th. He is confronted with four counts related to treason and misprision of treason, an accusation vehemently refuted by his legal representative, Joseph Kamara, who labeled the charges as “trumped up.”

This latest legal saga has captivated the nation, raising questions about the nature of the charges and the implications for the country’s political landscape. The bail provision offers temporary respite for Koroma, but the looming trial poses significant uncertainties for the former president’s future and the political climate of the nation.

Is the former president Er.nest Bai Koroma than the former president of Liberia, Charles Gangy Taylor. Let's take into consideration others before Ernest Bai Koroma, people's like, Faday Sebana Sankoh, RIP, and Hon. Hinga Norman, of Blessed memory. Let us try to put things straight in Sierra Leone, you being S.L.P.P., N G.C or A P.C. Let's allow the rul of law to take place, irrespective of anyone's status.

We’ll definitely go after Bio after his end of tenor. He thinks we will let him go free. If he knows what is good for him, let him allow the states man to rest.

Is Sierraloaded being censored? Same nepotism we are trying to correct. You seem to only publish what you like and delete those unfavorable to you guys. Ataya wit Saloneman. Even the so called journalist are bought.

Salone's master coup planner Killr Bio is at it again. Remember, a man that plots against his best friend is not a guy anyone can trust. Bio was part of NPRC, but turned against his best friend Strasser and couped him. Now he is doing his dirty tricks again to weaken APC. Bio is to Salone, what Blaise Campoire was in Burkina Faso. Lets see how this goes. Time will tell....
