The Minister of Information and Civic Education, Chernor Bah, has described the ongoing case involving Admire Bio as “justice in plain science,” emphasising the need for clarity and understanding of legal processes among the public.

Speaking in a recent interview on AYV Television, Minister Bah addressed public commentary surrounding the case, particularly claims suggesting preferential treatment due to alleged ties to the President.

He clarified that, to his knowledge, Admire Bio is not currently in prison, stressing the importance of distinguishing between an accused person and a convicted individual. “There is a clear difference between a convict and an accused,” Bah noted, underscoring that legal procedures must be allowed to take their course.

The Minister further explained that the individual in question was invited by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) as part of ongoing investigations. He added that after being held for questioning for several days, she was granted bail to return home while the investigations continue.

Addressing claims of political influence, Bah stated that he does not recall any instance in which the Government of Sierra Leone has treated a person differently based on their association with the President. He reiterated that due process was followed in the case.

Describing the situation as “justice in plain science,” the Minister maintained that the actions taken so far reflect standard legal procedure and should be understood as such by the public.
