In a recent interview with Voice of America, Lawyer Ady Macauley, a notable figure within the All People’s Congress (APC), made a decisive statement concerning the controversial case of Amadu Koita Makalo, who is also a former soldier for Sierra Leone, and later a Security in England.
Macauley emphatically refuted claims that Koita had ever served as a bodyguard for former President Ernest Bai Koroma. This assertion came in the wake of Koita’s recent conviction in a high-profile treason trial, where he was sentenced along with others for their involvement in an alleged coup attempt.
Macauley, known for his authoritative voice in Sierra Leonean politics, highlighted that there has been persistent misinformation regarding Koita’s past affiliations. He stated, “Amadu Koita with authority is that he has never been a bodyguard of former president Ernest Bai Koroma.” This declaration is significant given the ongoing debates surrounding Koita’s role and connections, particularly as his alleged ties to Koroma have been a focal point of public and media scrutiny.
The treason trial in question has attracted widespread attention due to its political implications and the high-profile nature of the accused. Koita’s sentencing has ignited discussions about the motivations behind the charges and the credibility of the evidence presented. The assertion by Macauley aims to clarify any misunderstandings about Koita’s past, potentially influencing public perception and the political discourse surrounding the trial.
Macauley’s remarks serve to address and counteract the claims that have been circulating about Koita’s relationship with Koroma.
Yes, koita was not an official or assigned bodyguard to former president koroma, but he was a private close bodyguard to the former president Koroma. Several videos revealed that they were close.
This man is a joke…he has been practicing law since I was a little kid…I’m now 46…I can see now that this lawyer lacks the ability to decern a simple situation like that…I know he’s politician but his comment has no motivating argument even to support what he’s said…this is what they’ve been doing to destroy salone…it’s almost coming to an end now…never again we’ll allow such none sense in our country…no wonder why their Bar Association is facing so much problems nowadays because most of these lawyers are cheats, rogues…dis den dry eye coba shame nor dae done den stupid tin ya so… Mr author, I know you’re looking for favor from some of these shallow thinking folks but this article is senseless…just to say “Koita wasn’t a bodyguard to Ernest”, you wrote all this mess…it’s a shame to all of you. I guess, you must be younger and you suppose to think better before seeking favor through worthless pieces like this one…
