Alhaji Koroma, a member of the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) who pleaded guilty in connection with the November 26th failed attempted coup in Sierra Leone has been sentenced to 30 years imprisonment.
Koroma was among twenty-seven serving military officers personnel facing a Court Martial presided over by Senior Magistrate Marke Ngegba and a panel of seven others in Freetown.
The court martial proceedings revealed a staggering 88 charges levied against the accused individuals, exposing their purported roles in the failed coup.
The charges encompass a spectrum of offenses designed to destabilize the state, including mutiny, failure to suppress mutiny, aiding the enemy, communicating with the enemy, stealing of public or service property, fraudulent misapplication of public or service property, and the gravest charge of murder – potentially linked to casualties arising from the unsuccessful uprising.
After the charges were read to the accused persons, the first accused Alhaji Koroma pleaded guilty to 6 counts charges of mutiny, aiding and Abeiting, and communication with the enemy. He also tendered an apology to the court and the president of the Republic of Sierra Leone Dr Julius Maada Bio. He also stated that He was used to commit such acts that he did the act but not wholeheartedly.
Following his guilty plea, Koroma was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment for conspiracy, mutiny, communicating with the enemy and other related charges.
As he was pleading for mercy with tears running down his check together with members of his family, he told his wife not to disclose to his children about his sentence and if they ask of him, she should tell them that he has travel.
Happy to hear it
This is a lesson. You should not have allowed somebody to lure you into this mess which have now landed you into trouble
E bin feel say dem go free am
Wow! This is a sad news for the family of this soldier
I don’t have any doubt in the slpp Bio govts.
Wife u try them u will see it.
Another act of tolongbos, deception of even their family members; just imagine Ahmed turay being sentenced for mis informing his poyo club mates about a doctorate degree yet asking them not to inform me that he does not have one yet, that he might be in the process of enrolling in a few years time, was that not similar to the sentences accused telling his wife not to tell his children that he will be in prison for that period?
Tolongbo una lef yiki tekeh, e noo fine behh, watin u tink?
