The reports circulating on social media claiming that Amadu Koita has died at the Pademba Road Prison have been confirmed as false.
According to credible information reaching this outlet, Koita is alive and was relocated from his previous detention cell to another facility several months ago.
Amadu Koita Makalo, a former soldier and ex-bodyguard to former President Ernest Bai Koroma, was found guilty of treason and related offences in July 2024.
Authorities allege that Koita, along with his associates, orchestrated an attempt to overthrow the administration of President Julius Maada Bio.
The charges stem from the events of November 26, when armed assailants carried out coordinated attacks on key security installations, including military armouries, barracks, prisons, and police stations. The attacks led to violent confrontations with security forces, resulting in the deaths of twenty-one individuals.
The incident also saw the escape of hundreds of inmates before order was eventually restored by authorities.
In connection with the case, Koita has reportedly been sentenced to over 300 years in prison.
Authorities continue to urge the public to disregard unverified reports and rely on official sources for accurate information.
Can the prison officer allowed the people this country to see koita live on tv,may be that will prove you right or wrong
Who really cares if Koita Makalo the coupist dies in prison? He is going to die in prison anyway because 300 years is not 300 days.
He asked for it and he got it.
Koita is lucky the death penalty has been abolished. He would have faced the gallows long ago with his corpse burnt and acid poured on it. The bones would have been thrown in an unmarked grave where people will urinate and defeacate on it everyday. He is not worthy of existence.
Who has time to televise Koita Kamalo the criminal, coupist and murderer?
You make aa laugh.
He can die in prison for all I care. Who really want to see this traitor face on our National Television……….
He’s not worth seeing and nobody should yield into such a request. Maybe they want to galvanize themselves and over power security forces in an attempt to set him free and hence, wasting more lives.
Your plan has failed even before you thought of it.
Hmmm. Saline na country.
I am not a politician, non my father, mother, uncle, aunty, brother or sister in anyway or forms but I am a Sierra Leonean and I deserve peace.
KOITA MAKALO IS NOT A SYMBOL OF PEACE.
