The 2023 elections Presidential candidate of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Dr. Samura Kamara has just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Kamara was received by several APC supporters at the airport.
The APC party announced on Friday that their presidential candidate will be departing for the US to hold “strategic engagements with Sierra Leoneans in the USA”.
The main opposition party also said that Kamara will return by the end of this week.
However, a press release said to have been authored by the Chairman of the Interim Transition and Government Committee (ITGC), Alfred Peter Conteh said Kamara was visiting the US as part of the investigation in the ongoing Sierra Leone Chancery Building investigation in New York.
He said the press release by the party was misleading.
Kamara together with six others is accused of corruption together with regards misappropriation of funds and misleading the principal among other crimes.
The APC presidential candidate has since denied the allegations and said the case was politically motivated.
