Dear President Julius Maada Bio,
I hope this letter reaches you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of profound importance concerning the recent formal request filed by the legal team of former President Ernest Bai Koroma, seeking permission for his travel to Nigeria for medical treatment.
As concerned citizens, we have been closely monitoring the developments surrounding this request and feel compelled to bring to your attention the potential ramifications that may extend beyond the realm of medical care. There are alarming indications that suggest a strategic manoeuvre by Mr Koroma’s legal team, possibly with the involvement of influential figures in Nigeria, to enable the former president to evade justice under the pretext of medical treatment.
In a recent television interview, JFK, one of Ex-President Koroma’s lawyers, made statements that raised questions about the sincerity of the former president’s intentions. JFK conveyed a dismissive attitude towards the charges levelled against Ex-President Koroma, including treason and other offences against the state. This, coupled with a blatant disregard for your authority by advising against considering President Koroma’s travel request, adds a layer of concern to the situation.
It is our firm belief that allowing Former President Koroma to leave the country under these circumstances would not only compromise the principles of justice but could also be perceived as a calculated attempt by the former president and his associates to escape accountability. The citizens of Sierra Leone, whose trust and confidence your administration has earned, are expressing their apprehension and dissatisfaction with the prospect of Former President Koroma seeking medical treatment in Nigeria.
We understand that the government of Sierra Leone, under your leadership, is committed to upholding the rule of law and fostering democratic values. Therefore, we implore you to exercise utmost caution and thoroughly investigate the legitimacy of Former President Koroma’s medical treatment request. It is crucial to ascertain whether this is a genuine need for medical attention or a strategic move to circumvent the legal processes.
Furthermore, we wish to highlight the potential consequences if Mr Koroma is allowed to travel to Nigeria under dubious circumstances. The citizens of Sierra Leone, in their collective voice, express concern that permitting the former president to leave for Nigeria could lead to a significant democratic backlash during your tenure. The perception of allowing a figure with a controversial past to elude justice may erode the hard-earned democratic progress of the country over the past five years.
In considering alternative solutions, we propose that Mr. Koroma seeks medical attention in Sierra Leone. If his health condition requires specialized care, arrangements could be made for his doctor to visit him in Sierra Leone. Mr. Koroma’s ties to the nation, having been born here and having served the country for 11 years, should be a compelling reason for him to address his health concerns within the borders of Sierra Leone.
We understand the delicate nature of this matter and the potential implications it holds for the nation. Your decision in this regard will undoubtedly shape the perception of justice, accountability, and the democratic values that Sierra Leone stands for. We trust in your leadership and urge you to prioritize the interests and trust of the citizens in making this crucial decision.
In conclusion, we appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to upholding the principles that underpin Sierra Leone’s democratic fabric. We hope that this letter serves as a sincere and earnest appeal to safeguard the democratic progress achieved under your leadership.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
Sincerely,
National Political Prophet

All I see in your letter is democracy, democracy….. So by upholding someone who suppose to travel for medical attention due to poor health, is what you called democracy?
Well said prophet
President Koroma is innocent. He will never and ever get himself involved in such a cheap nasty situation that will derail his national and international reputation. These are just evil thoughts of some idle SLPP propagandist seeking to destroy the image of a great statesman and the country at large. But they will never succeed and the truth will reveal one day
This is indeed a game plan that former president and allies wanted to manifest but God will surely explose them all, His Excellency please listen and watchful
This is indeed perplexed you don’t believe your Doctors but outside one, what is special about them than our country doctors…… Sierra Leone we love justice must prevail
No way, EBK is not leaving SL. Let him call doctors from Nigeria.
Mr. President, our lives are in your hands don’t play around EBK. If you do, you will suffer the consequences.
If Mr koroma want medical treatment, let it be done in Sierra Leone because he is a man with serious problem, besides we have so many qualified doctors that can treat him better than Nigeria, if really he is not making his way to escape From the atrocities he caused in the country.
Why is now EBK has concern over his health, has he not been getting ill before, and why Nigeria should be the place to undertake his medical treatment, the same Nigeria that has been advocating for his exile..now medical treatment, its wouldn’t work, he has to face the music of his tune..lonta
Very true sierra Leone is bigger than everyone else,and no one is above the law,to prevail democracy let the right thing be done PLEASE Mr president and we need peace in Sierra Leone.
Come to think of it, if Ernest had strengthen the health system when he was president, for over 11yrs he will not be asking to go to Nigeria for medical treatment. when you fail to build institutions at the time you have power this is what will happen
Again was Dr Russell not his personal phisician? is he not a consultant cardiologist? We have choithram, life care, Connaught, freetown international hospital 43 military hospital etc let him make use of the local content policy they were bragging about
A profound statement well said by the Prophet. God bless you.
Did EBK first considered his health condition ever before he entangled himself with the crimes committed. Can you compare one man’s life like EBK to the Victims of patriotic citizens he has destroyed so far? NO. Therefore justice must take it cause. There should be no escape goat or route in this matter. Even in prisons, professionals including Specialists can be permitted to carry out medical treatment for the sick people. Please President Maada Bio we are appealing to you that you kindly take the right action required. The patriotic citizens of Mama Salone are not stupid and naive about what the so called crooked and arm rubbers of these Nigerians are up to. God will surely judge the wicked including their supporters in Jesus mighty name l pray. Amen and Amen
Why are they not coming to seek the interest of the nation, except the interest of just an individual in this matter,why?
Why to go with him only
Why he know that he seek but he attempted to overthrow the elected president this is on don, let him under go the force of lower and the president know that EBK he has destroyed a lot of life in this country so, let him take he medical treatment here is here he has committed the crime so he should be take the punishment here his is not going anywhere, so Nigerian government we need peace in this nation so please don’t interfere in our political issue all my prayer is to arrest EBK🤲🤲🤲🤲
Did I hear you call Ernest Bai Koroma a great statesman? You probably have a different definition for statesmanship.
Ernest is by all imaginations not a statesman. He is a thief, crook, conman, jihadist, kufarr, monster, coupist, murderer etc. He is a true son of satan and an epitome of evil and everything satanic on earth.
