SLPP Parliamentarian Reveals Controversial List of Alleged APC Coup Plotters

In an interview on AYV Wake Up Salone, aired on Tuesday, December 19th, 2023, Ibrahim Tawa Conteh, an SLPP member of Parliament representing Constituency 132 in the Sierra Leone Parliament, shed light on a matter of significant national importance. As an advocate for transparency and accountability, Conteh shared insights into the list submitted by the APC party, detailing individuals slated for release from prison or exile following a communique.

Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Conteh drew attention to the names featured on the list, describing them as “lynchpins” in the attempted coup. Dr. Mathew Sorie Kamara, Sheka I Dumbuya, Mai. Mohamed Issa Koroma, Mohamed Samura, Osman Kamara, Maj. Mustapha Abdul Raheem Kamara, Maj. John Thomas Bangura, and others were named in this controversial roster. Conteh, expressing a sense of coincidence, emphasized the necessity for the people to discern the truth behind these individuals and their alleged involvement in the attempted coup.

The list, including prominent figures such as Capt. John Conteh, Lt. Zainab Amara Sowu, and Sgt. Saio Kamara, indicated the diverse ranks and roles of those implicated. Shockingly, the roster included individuals both on the run and, notably, one who had reportedly died in the failed coup—adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding situation.

The statuses attached to each name revealed a mix of those still evading authorities and others who had been apprehended. The gravity of the situation was underscored by the inclusion of aliases like “Yeate Yeate” and “APC Sheriff,” suggesting potential connections to political affiliations.

Conteh’s disclosure in this interview brings to the forefront the urgent need for clarity and accountability in Sierra Leone. The revelation of key figures involved in the attempted coup has sparked public interest and raised questions about the nation’s political landscape. As these events continue to unfold, Sierra Leoneans await further developments and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the individuals on the list.
