The United States Embassy in Freetown has addressed the public regarding a U.S. Air Force plane that landed at Freetown International Airport on Sunday, clarifying the reason for its brief presence in Sierra Leone.
In a tweet, the Embassy stated: “We are aware of some misinformation about a U.S. Air Force plane that was seen landing at Lungi Airport. A plane landed for routine refueling, and promptly left Sierra Leone. Rumors of the plane landing in Sierra Leone for any other purpose are false.”
Despite this clarification, the aircraft’s landing sparked curiosity and speculation, with various theories circulating on social media. Some suggested that the aircraft’s presence was solely for refueling, while others speculated it might be related to the recent political situation in the country.
The Sierra Leone Civil Aviation Authority (SLCAA) confirmed that it received an application from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requesting a landing permit for the U.S. military aircraft. The stated purpose of the request was strictly for refueling.
On June 21st, the SLCAA forwarded the request to the Office of National Security (ONS) for the necessary security clearance, which was promptly granted. SLCAA Director General Madame Musayeroh Barrie confirmed that the aircraft landed as scheduled and completed its refueling operation without any issues.
AàaaaaaaaaaaaSalone na plane normor drop na Salone nai we dae bluff wit

President Bio don’t trust these Americans. They must be supplying arms to extremists within the country to destabilise your government. Be watchful 😎😎

Why the US aircraft never visited Sierra Leone during the war! but now it visit what is their plans to worse our country we are ready to work with the Russian government not US government at all so let them keep off we don’t need them anymore enough of all these nonsense we are in this mess for far too long no improvement for us now that they see the reality coming for the people of Sierra Leone that’s why they want to disturb the whole process right? we don’t need them! thank you
Wusai this plane 🚅 been dae comot way fuel left am so
Are dae smell 🤭something Nooo
This plane is up to something! Whether you believe it or not
President Bio visited Russia some weeks ago, then the US Warplane landed in Sierra Leone.
We want to know where this plane was coming from and where it was heading to. I don’t believe it left USA to come and refuel in Sierra Leone, only to go back to the USA. I sense something fishy. Prez Bio should ask the Russians to send us some mercenaries with arms immediately.
Are yar salone na contri,na ya nomor things go happen,yar we nor go get am right but are believe say true na true,en wan day e go prevail.
This is so strange for a US aircraft to land in Sierra Leone just for refueling. Where was it coming from. From what I know, the fuel tank of an aircraft is very large and there must be a reserve fuel and a mechanism to fuel itself right up there coz it is am aircraft
The rubbish too Boku na this country
Hmmm oooh Salone man,munku dem everywhere na contri😂😂
Idleness burku na Africa. How salone na baboon wae d people nor for something lek this? Let’s be frank with our selves, even during the war, America didn’t have to come to salone. With only 8million people, wus problem we go get wae even Guinea or Ghana or Nigeria nor go able solve. Even d time wae we dae kill we sef, Guinea man dae Daru tay war done, Nigeria man dae all side dae enjoy, tay war don.
