Police in Sierra Leone have announced a series of arrests of former and active personnel from both the military and the Sierra Leone Police force.
The detainees are accused of plotting to disrupt public order during the Ramadan holiday period and the country’s Independence Day celebrations on April 27th.
Authorities apprehended the suspects in various locations across the Western Area. Some of those arrested were previously wanted for their involvement in the November 26, 2023 unrest.
Police have not disclosed the number of individuals arrested but pledged to provide further details during their next weekly press briefing.
Meanwhile, Captain John Conteh, a fugitive wanted for his involvement in the failed November 26th coup attempt, was shot dead by police on Wednesday after attempting to escape custody.
Sierraloaded learnt that Conteh was apprehended at his mother’s residence in Mayenkineh, Calaba Town, on Wednesday morning.
Authorities reported that Conteh was being transported to the Jui Detention Center when he attempted to overpower an officer.
According to police statements, Conteh’s handcuffs were loosened due to the need to cross a river during transport. He allegedly struck an officer, jumped from the vehicle, and fled on foot. Police pursued and opened fire, fatally wounding Conteh. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
Conteh’s mother was also arrested on charges of harboring a fugitive.

The Sierra Leone police force is no longer a professional institution.

I’m blaming the HE the president of this country of meddling with our state laws: otherwise,many of the small group who think the power of this state only meant for one sector.kill dog before dog eyes,so that fear should be in our all minds.
Violation of the rules of engagement is a crime against the Geneva convention. The officer who shoot that officer to death must face the full penalty of the law.
APC is enemy of Sierra Leone but God will continue to expose ur evil acts I blame president Bio for removing death penalty.
