APC Secretary General, Lansana Dumbuya Returns Home After Questioning at CID

The Secretary General of Sierra Leone’s opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Lansana Dumbuya has returned home following police questioning in Freetown on Friday evening.

Dumbuya was summoned by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) following the publication of a press release on January 11, 2024, where the APC expressed confidence in the innocence of former President Ernest Bai Koroma.

The press release, issued by Dumbuya, asserted the APC’s unwavering support for Koroma amidst treason charges related to an alleged failed coup on November 26, 2023. The document emphasized the party’s stance on the matter and its solidarity with the former president during this challenging time.

Taking to Twitter to inform this follower on the development, Dumbuya affirmed that He has now returned to his house. He also confirmed that the questioning was related to the press statement on Ernest Bai Koroma.

“I just returned home from the CID after police questioning on the 27th November 2023 and 11 January 2024 press statements. It’s all about the press statement issued in support of our former President Ernest Bai Koroma.” Dumbuya wrote.

It is not particularly clear at press time if there will be further questioning or charges on the issue.

Most of these so called Lawyers need to be reexamined as regard their qualification. When someone has been charged to court, as a qualified lawyers what's expected from you??? Is it to wait and see the evidences or to take side immediately???? Even a blind can't act the way some of the lawyers are doing. If you know your client is innocent, be patient untill the evidences are presented. From that point if the evidences are not solid then it's your time to do whatever. Paolo was accused of treasonable offense. But because no clear evidences against him, he was simply acquitted and discharged. So why the worry and hullabaloo over this whole saga of EBK???? Let's wait and see. This is a very sensitive matter which the whole world is watching.

All you tribalistic and sh!thole APCians are dishonest and lawless to the core! Who the heII is criminal EBK not to be treated like the common criminal that he is? All the lies and noise you're causing will not save EBK from this treason trial. The government of Sierra Leone has more than enough evidence incriminating your tribalistic and sh!thole demi god EBK and the mastermind behind all the failed coup d'etat plots since 2018, that why he is going to stand trial to prove his innocence and if found guilty he is going to suffer the consequences and none of you lawless sh!tholes can't do anything about it. Your lies and lawlessness is going to continue to be your downfall..

Mustapha mohamed you are a stupid human being It's the right of the sectary general to pull a press release And the fools are inviting him to the CID We will continue to stand by Dr Earnest Bai KOROMA under rain and under sun

When a country has dangerious opposition like the APC party it becomes unsafe for the masses , they think they are powerful than the rulling government so the can do anything they feel like doing. Soon prosperity will judge them and also those who are in support of their evil activities.

Mr Dumbuya, you were not invited on stance of standing by H E EBK but the article stating that EBK is innocent. I wish this was China, when found guilty, all and his lawyers will be charged with the same crimes. Blessed Sierra Leone

This regime is at war with everyone. War amongst themselves ( Old SLPP vs Paopa SLPP), war with the opposition APC party, war with the Salone people ( any who dare to criticize), war with the international community including US, EU & now ECOWAS. If I can remember, it was ECOWAS who formed ECOMOG and use blood & money to reinstate the ousted SLPP government of late Tejan Kabba. Does the name Maxwell Kobbi ring a bell? Why do I hear SLPP paopa branch crying foul when ECOWAS is trying to save Salone from another catastrophe? ECOWAS was a hero yesterday when they fought for SLPP, but today they are villains for trying to save Salone. May God help our country!!!!
